The M3/4s have been a paid all day event in the past. The autocross event will likely only have 530i models or possibly 540i models as that is the new introduction. The autocross courses have been relatively low speed. This is a marketing event tour that costs BMW big bucks to put on. Their goal has been to introduce new models to potential buyers in the autocross and introduce BMW faithful willing to pay for what is typically their first M car experience in the all day event. It is typically done in a very large flat parking lot with cones. I suspect you are going to have a much more involving and fun time at the BMW CCA HPDE event. That has been my experience.

So apparently most of the events are free except for one which costs $750 approx. I've signed up for a weekend slot to track a 5 series. Wish there were other choices but that seems to be it. (Unless you do the paid event, then you get M2, M3, M4, etc). If you have the best time then maybe you get to track something else against the other drivers with best times. Looks like it's going to be awesome!

I never thought I would want a BMW until I was invited for the Ultimate Driving Experience in Seattle.
I never cared about having a RWD. All I wanted was a GTI in 6 speed. Then I drove the 4 series in this event... oh boy what a car. And then the M235i... I eventually became a BMW fan Last edited by rainfall; 04-08-2017 at 10:29 AM.. |

I had so much fun at this event today. I overcooked it into one corner and lost some time which I'm still stewing over as I was seven one hundredths of a second behind the winner in my heat.
I hope they do it next year.

I registered for a slot. There are still a lot of slots open for the CA one. Is it possible to register 2 or even 3 times? Or is that a douche thing to do?

Sucks. I might make the Citi Field event in November as I'm due a return to my ol' battlegrounds.

When i drove in 2015, I was doing laps competing with Engineering Explained (the youtuber). He is a cool guy. I think he got 3rd place out of 20 ish. I got somewhere in the middle of the 20.

My guess is that was the best overall time for the UDE event in Los Angeles.
The person with the best time at each site then competes at PDC West Coast (Thermal) to determine . . . who is . . . the . . . . ULTIMATE DRIVER!
