BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School - Atlanta
Michelin Raceway Road AtlantaAbout this event
If you're considering advancing to the ranks of BMW CCA Club Racing, or interested in accelerating your BMW driving experience, the BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School is the event is for you. The school is open to advanced BMW CCA HPDE students and instructors, as well as participants with equivalent driving experience from other recognized car clubs and organizations.
The BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School, hosted by the BMW Peachtree Chapter is being held at Road Atlanta on February 14-15, 2019. This is 2 days on the 12-turn world-famous racetrack, overlapping with the AER test/qualifying day on Friday the 15th. Graduation from the BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School will prepare a driver to join a team to participate in the AER endurance races that weekend (February 15-17).
Successful completion of the BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School will allow you to apply for a provisional (rookie) BMW CCA Club Race license and may quality you for a NASA, SCCA, AER, Porsche, CASC-OR (Canada), or other race licenses.
The BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School consists of eight classroom sessions and eight track sessions. The classroom curriculum covers the fundamentals of 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 various passing exercises, driving three-wide at speed, green-flag practice starts, and a full simulated race exercise; all under the watchful eye of the BimmerWorld and BMW CCA Club Racing On-track Coaches. The last session of the school will end early Friday afternoon, so drivers who intend to race with AER over the weekend will be freed from the school in time to run in the qualifying session with their team.
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. Participants do not need a race prepared car, and all manufactures/models of cars are welcome. Note that helmets must be either Snell SA2010 or Snell SA2015.
