Revised Car Requirement Based on PCA national standards: Open Cars - Any make of standard production car delivered with factory installed rollover protection meets the minimum standards for PCA DE events.  In these cars the soft top must be in the up position or the hard top installed.  However, advanced drivers of open top cars (Groups 2, 1 and Instructor) must have a roll bar that can actually be demonstrated to comply with the "broomstick" rule even if the car is equipped with factory installed rollover protection.

If a car does not have factory installed rollover protection, a roll bar must be installed, which meets the "broomstick" rule (the driver's helmeted head is below a bar placed on top of the rollbar and windshield).  All targa tops must be installed unless there is additional rollover protection.  All sunroofs must be in the closed position.  The windshield alone is not considered to be factory rollover protection.
