Schnell Fest (HPDE) – Winter 2023

This Porsche Club of America Driver Education event is a joint presentation of the Hill Country, Lone Star and Maverick Regions – PCA, with the support of our good friends at the Houston Chapter BMW-CCA. We’re calling these events at COTA the “Austin Schnell Fests” to emphasize the fact that these events are not just for Porsche or BMW Drivers – drivers of every make are invited to participate, and membership in PCA or BMW-CCA is not necessary.

If you’ve never experienced driving COTA you need to sign up on clubregistration.net when registration opens January 11th.

Circuit of The Americas is the premier destination for world-class motorsports and entertainment in the United States. Set on 1,500 acres in the rolling hills just outside downtown Austin, Circuit of The Americas has hosted the biggest names in racing, action sports and music since 2012. At its heart is a 3.41-mile racetrack that was designed to challenge the world’s most exacting competitors while providing a thrilling spectacle for audiences. The 20-turn, counterclockwise circuit takes advantage of the naturally undulating landscape, including an intimidating 133-foot hill at Turn 1 that must be seen in person to be believed.

Can’t fit this event into your calendar? Good news. Schnell Fest will be offered again at COTA on three more dates in 2023.

• May 6/7 – registration opens March 22nd
• September 30/October 1 – registration opens August 16th
• December 9/10 – registration opens October 25th
