  • GGR Track in 2024 and Beyond

    Dear GGR Members,  As we head towards the end of 2023, I just wanted to give thanks. I’d like to thank the PCA-GGR Board Members for their leadership and support of the Track Series for the past two years. When people ask me what it’s like being the GGR Track Director, I say it’s like I have…

    Drivers!  The 2023 Porsche Redwood City Track Series is officially over, as will be my two-year term as Track Director on December 31st.

  • GGR on Track at Laguna Seca

    As anticipated, Laguna Seca was a hit! Three day weekend + 105 db + newly paved surface = sold out event.
