Michiana BMW test-n-tune #1

Tire Rack

About this event

This is NOT an actual autox event ... this is not for 1st timers ... 

here's the skinny...
The concept of this test-n-tune is to give drivers more than ample time/runs throughout the day to experiment with items like tire pressures, sway bars, shock settings, etc to find their optimal car setup. Essentially the event would operate similar to our post-event fun runs ... 1 car on course or maneuver at a time, very minimal corner workers, basic timing gear ... take a run, make a tweak, get back in line, compare results.  The course setup will vary throughout the day to focus on specific handling aspects/maneuvers like the skidpad, slalom, transitions, etc.  
Registration will likely be limited to about 20 drivers. This particular event is NOT open to newbies or casual autocrossers. This is for folks that have been autoxing for a while and are serious about tweaking and maximizing their car setup AND/OR want addtional seat time.  Depending on the feedback from this 1st test-n-tune, we may do a similar event later in the season.

The registration link for this event will not be publicly available.  So unless you get this private URL, you won't find it by searching motorsportsreg.

NOTE: you'll get a crap-load of track time ... plan your tire wear accordingly :-)
