A Diablo Region PCA Tour is a club-sanctioned driving social event emphasizing safety and camaraderie. Participants follow a predetermined route, enjoy scenic drives, and have designated start and endpoints. These tours often include interesting destinations, rest stops, and activities, allowing members to explore new places while enjoying their Porsches in a group setting.

For large tours, there may not be enough radios for all participants. If you wish to purchase your own radios, they are available on Amazon in pairs. The radios are FRS/GMRS compatible, have 22 channels and 121 privacy codes (or sub-channels).
