The BimmerWorld BMW CCA Racing School is a safe, fun and intense learning experience designed to teach you a new level of performance driving along with the fundamentals of BMW Club Racing.

The BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School weekend consists of eight classroom sessions and eight track sessions. The classroom curriculum with the supporting track sessions covers advanced situational awareness, communicating with your car, predictability, safe passing anywhere, closed circuit, door-to-door performance driving, competitive passing techniques, driver/race car preparation, and knowledge of BMW CCA Club racing rules.
On the track you’ll experience corner passing, driving three-wide at speed, green-flag practice starts, and a full simulated race exercise all under the watchful eye of the BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing Instructors and On-track Coaches.
The learning is accelerated, the driving is fast, and the experience is unforgettable! Any car suitable for use in a BMW CCA HPDE event can be used.

Race School Coaches
Experienced racers from BMW Club Racing and other sanctioned race series are invited to help coach. We need racers to participate in discussions regarding a variety of topics, take part in on-track exercises, and observe and comment on the actions of the students. When on track, you will be using your own car and not be in the student's car. Friday lapping is free for those who commit to coach Saturday and Sunday. If interested, please contact the registrar (Allan Lewis at allan-lewis@rogers.com) directly – do NOT register as an instructor for the Trillium DE that weekend as that is for DE instructors only.
