Historical and Technical Quiz

Sponsored by LN Engineering and Bilt Racing Service

The Technical and Historical Quiz is a PCA Parade tradition.  

The format is multiple choice and true/false, covering general and specific knowledge of everything Porsche and PCA. Questions are derived from the last calendar year of Panorama, Excellence and Christophorus magazines, along with owner’s manuals and historical texts.  In addition PCA (History, Officers, PCRs and bylaws) and Porsche Owners Manuals can be considered a source for questions as well. 

The Quiz consists of 50 general questions, 25 model-specific questions and 5 tiebreakers.  

There are different classes for each model range.  Each class has a division for men and Ladies.  You may register for any one (1) class you wish, you do not have to enter the class of your registered car, unless you wish.
