2026 PCA Accredited Race School Update

In 2025 PCA Club Racing announced our partnership with Autobahn Country Club, Eagles Canyon Raceway, and BMW Car Club of America as accredited PCA Club Racing race schools.

Each will provide an immersive classroom and on-track club race school experience that will give aspiring racers the preparation they need for their rookie event. Upon successful completion of the course the participant will be eligible for a PCA Rookie License. Note that each race school, and PCA Club Racing, has skill criteria that is essential for acceptance to ensure each participant has the adequate seat time to be ready and able to be successful.

The traditional Rookie and Provisional License application procedures listed in the PCA Club Racing Rule Book remain as routes to earning a PCA Club Racing License.

The PCA Club Racing License application has been updated to provide for two routes for obtaining a PCA Club Racing License:

Route 1 – Provisional Application: Via an existing, current full-competition license with current experience from a recognized road-racing sanctioning organization.

Route 2 – Rookie Application:
a. Applicants without a current FULL competition race license and no prior race experience may apply for a PCA Club Racing Competition Rookie License. The required paperwork includes a current PCA Membership, a fully completed, signed, and dated 2026 PCA Club Racing NEW License Application, a log of race track days from the past 24 months showing a minimum of 12 days of race track driving training or experience at driver’s education events (HPDE), time trials, or the equivalent (eligibility and equivalency will be determined by the PCA Club Racing Committee). Karting, autocrosses, hill climbs, or motorcycle days are not race track days. The Certification of Experience and Ability must be completed by a PCA Region Chief Driving Instructor or equivalent (as determined by the PCA Club Racing Committee)

– or –

b. Applicants without a current FULL competition race license and no prior race experience may apply to one of the PCA CR accredited race schools. Admission to the accredited race schools is contingent on race track driving experience, driver’s education events , time trials, or the equivalent. Successfully completing one of the PCA CR accredited race schools allows a prospective racer to apply for a PCA Racing license as an alternative to the traditional path requiring a number of PCA HPDE sessions. Race school eligibility and equivalency will be determined by the PCA Club Racing Committee. The Certification of Experience and Ability must be completed by a PCA Accredited Race School Chief Driving Instructor before acceptance and after the completion of the PCA Accredited Race School.
