The Final Apex Autocross

Colorado Air and Space Port

About this event

The Final Apex Autocross 

Location:  Colorado Air and Space Port formerly known as Front Range Airport

 Saturday October 5, 2024 

This is the last event of the 2024 PCA RMR autocross calendar so come on out for your last chance to enjoy another great day dodging cones and hitting apexes with your fellow Porsche enthusiasts.  Remember, you must score points in at least 3 events per season in a single car in a single class to qualify for the season class championships, so if you have only 2 events so far, go for the hat-trick.

Entrance Gate and Registration will be open from 7:30am to 8:30am.

Gate will close at 8:30am sharp – PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE

There will be no walk-up registrations on the day of the event, so you must be pre-registered prior to arrival.

By the way, autocross is a huge social event and a great time to meet new club members and visit with friends.

If you can volunteer to assist the chair in setting up the course and other activities to make this a successful event please contact us!

Autocross Season Scoring and Rules

  • Your scored points for an event are calculated by giving the driver with fastest time for a class 1000 points. Each successive driver in the same class gets a percentage of 1000 points based on the formula (Drivers Time / Fastest Class Time) x 1000..
  • Only the fastest runs of the day are scored.
  • You must score points in at least 3 events per season in a single car in a single class to qualify for the season championship.
  • You can compete in more than one class, but you can only qualify for season championship points in one class.
  • If an event gets cancelled, the minimum number of events to qualify (3) will stay the same.
  • Points cannot be transferred to a different class.
  • Class standings are determined by the points total from each driver's 3 best events.
  • In the event of a tie in point totals, the season average score (average of the driver's best 3 events) will be used to determine the season championship. If there is a tie in the season average scores as well, then the championship will be determined by the highest average score from the best 4 events.
