About this event
The ///M Chapter is headed to the BMW Performance Center in Greer, South Carolina on April 8th and 9th for our first two ///M Chapter Club Day events of 2022. The Performance Center provides current model ///M cars, instructors, gas, tires, lunch and a first-class facility for a fun-filled day at the track. Just show up ready to drive!
The focus of this event is on improving your driving skills and having fun through a combination of driving exercises, classroom instruction and competitive events. No helmets or previous driving school experience are required. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged to attend.
For this event, two drivers pair up and share a car. This provides plenty of drive time for both participants and allows passangers to focus on the technical aspects of the exercises and assist the driver. This format provides a great mix of learning and driving. Don't worry, you will be exhausted by the end of the day.
We can also offer drivers a car to themselves for the entire day. No sharing, you will drive alone, in a car by yourself, all day for $1,500. Just sign up for two drivers and make a note on the registration page that you will be driving by yourself for the entire day.
This school is a special program designed by the Performance Center staff specifically for BMW CCA chapters. It includes instruction on proper driving position, vehicle dynamics, car-control skills, weight-transfer, oversteer/understeer and improving your vision. The day is divided into morning and afternoon sessions which mix skill exercises and competitive events, including skid pad wet/dry courses, braking and handling practice, autocross, lapping and more.
We will be driving current model BMW ///M Cars for this event. Please note that the Performance Center staff continually makes changes to this program, so session contents and the ///M cars available may vary from one school to the next.
