HPDE Jan 17-18, 2026
Florida Crown Region will be hosting our annual HPDE event at Roebling Road Raceway in Savannah, Georgia on Saturday and Sunday, January 17-18, 2026. This HPDE event is open to all makes and models (except EVs) and for drivers of all ability levels from first-ever track drivers through advanced solo drivers and instructors. We welcome all experience levels with the event focused on developing high performance driving skills. Instructors and classroom sessions will be provided for all students in the Green (Novice Instructed) and Blue (Instructed) run groups and are included in your registration fee. If you’re unable to commit to a full weekend, we offer a Saturday only option as a great way to experience the track. You will need to have or create an account at http://www.clubregistration.net and you can see all event details (please read the event details thoroughly) and register for the event at:

Some Additional Info: Technical Inspection: Most importantly, you are required to have a passing technical inspection from an ASE-certified mechanic (can be a Porsche dealer, or independent shop) within 30 days of the event using FCR’s technical inspection form which will be provided to you after you register for the event. Please get this done as early as possible within the 30 day window so that you have time to address any issues, such as worn brake pads, worn tires, etc.
Event Logistics: We will have early check-in and car tech inspection beginning on Friday evening, January 16 from 5:00 – 7:00pm. We encourage you to also join us for a pizza and beverage social on Saturday, January 17 after the track goes cold for camaraderie and sharing of our driving highlights. In addition, professional photographer Andrew from Guided Pixels will join us trackside to take some amazing shots of our cars and driving. His photos will be available for purchase after the event.
Hotel Arrangements: We have reserved a block of rooms at the Comfort Inn & Suites Savannah Airport, 1 Clyde E Martin Drive, Savannah, GA. The event room rate is $95/night. Please call the hotel directly at 912-965-1551 to reserve and indicate you are with Florida Crown PCA. Cut-off date is Jan 2, 2026. If you’re calling the hotel after this date, they will still honor the $95 rate if rooms are available. Other hotels are available for your choosing.
Helmets: Snell rated SA2015, 2020 and 2025 helmets are acceptable for this event. If you don’t own a helmet, you can rent one from Linda at Apex Performance for $100 by contacting Linda at 843-299-0997 or http://www.apexperformance.net. Apex will ship a helmet to the address you indicate and include a return shipping label for returning the helmet to Apex after your DE weekend. Please reach out to Linda no later than January 10, 2026 to allow sufficient time for packing and shipping a rental helmet to your designated address.
Track Event Insurance: Typical auto insurance likely does not cover driving your car on a racetrack. There are several insurers offering track day insurance, e.g., Hagerty, OnTrack, Lockton Insurance, etc. If you so choose, it is your responsibility to get your own track insurance.
