The BMW CCA New York Chapter, Inc. Driver School curriculum in conjunction with Skid Pad training (when a Skid Pad is available) have as goals to educate drivers about vehicle dynamics and develop transferable skills to both routine and emergency conditions on public roads. These goals will be accomplished through a combination of classroom lectures, track walks, and practicum at speed on the track and on the skid pad. In addition to these academic objectives, the Chapter equally strives to present the program in a manner that provides the participants a venue for a gratifying day of performance driving of their “Ultimate Driving Machines” the way they are meant to be driven (read: some good ol’ fashioned clean fun).

Now that you know the intent of the Event Organizers, it should be emphasized that this is not a race driver school and absolutely no competitive activities are permitted. If you plan to use any of our events as a practice session for “the race next weekend” or are just looking for a lapping day of track time, you will be disappointed in how we run the Driver School and we strongly recommend that you do not attend. However, if working with an experienced Instructor to improve your knowledge and skills about car control is what you are after, then look forward to an enjoyable event with dozens of friendly folks with the same idea.
