Welcome to the Potomac Founders' Region of the Porsche Club of America! Established in 1955 as the first official PCA chapter, our region has grown into one of the largest in the country, with over 2,800 members and counting. We proudly serve Porsche enthusiasts across northern Virginia, southern Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington, DC.

Our events take place in some of the most scenic and historic locations the nation has to offer. Whether it's cruising along Maryland's eastern shores, driving through the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley in the fall, or gathering at Virginia’s renowned vineyards and Civil War battlefields, our adventures are steeped in beauty and history. In the greater DC metro area, you'll find a wide range of Porsche vendors and specialists, enabling us to host top-tier Tech Sessions led by certified Porsche professionals. Additionally, our members enjoy excellent dining and social venues for breakfast meetings, rallies, lunches, and dinners.

For those seeking the thrill of the track, autocross at Summit Point, WV, is practically our home away from home. Our Driver Education (DE) program makes the most of our proximity to world-class motorsports parks, including Summit Point and Virginia International Raceway (VIR) in Alton, VA.

Whatever drives your passion for Porsches, you'll find a vibrant community here in Potomac. With a rich tradition and a welcoming atmosphere, our members—some of whom have been with PCA for over 25 years—are always ready to lend a hand, whether it’s offering advice or helping with an engine drop.

Come join us and share in the excitement—we look forward to welcoming you!
