Welcome to the Motor City Chapter BMWCCA!

It’s time for our flagship high-performance driver’s education (HPDE) weekend at Grattan Raceway.
This is your chance to explore and hone your driving abilities on one of the most entertaining courses in America.
Grattan’s 2.0 miles of exciting and challenging corners (including a 160 degree hairpin and
a downhill reverse camber turn) make it one of the best around.
Recent track resurfacing only further enhances the experience.

All drivers—young and not so young; novice, intermediate, and advanced—are welcome.

This year, the event will be held the weekend of September 28-29, 2013
(Approved advanced students and instructors are also invited to drive on Friday, September 27.)

Motor City BMWCCA prides itself on offering
some of the best in-car instruction in HPDE.
No matter your driving level, we will help you improve!

Event Type: High Performance Drivers Education (HPDE)
This is a non-timed, non-competitive driving event.
Participants safely learn and develop (a) high performance driving
technique, (b) driving line at Grattan, and (c) situational awareness
through on-track and classroom experiences. In-car instructors are
provided for all students, and solo opportunities are available if student
and instructor agree it’s appropriate.
Driving Groups: Participants will be organized into one of three driving
groups (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) based on experience.

open passing with a point-by for the Advanced driving group.
Our goal is to foster a safe and invigorating environment for everyone!
