About this event
The National Capital Chapter is going back to the Performance Center West for an exciting opportunity to drive the ///M4 GT4 factory race cars on the Thermal Club track!
Located just outside of Palm Springs, CA, this venue features the BMW Performance Center facility and three premier racing circuits at the beautiful Thermal Motorsports Club. This special NCC event will provide participants the chance to drive a real BMW factory race car on this world-class track.
This single-day event is for BMW CCA members (any chapter). If you're not a current member, join the club and then join us in the desert in December! Payment for this event must be made by a check from a BMW CCA member.
I'm looking for FIRM commitments now. If you will definately be attending this event, register now!
