About this event
Join Patroon BMWCCA At our New Event Aug 22-24th 2008 @ Calabogie Motorsports Park Full Course outside Ottawa Canada AND the soon to be repaved and reconfigured Lime Rock Park Oct 11th 2008. We will hold a BMWCCA Driving school that is open to NON BMW vehicles.
Calabogie is a technical and challenging 3.05 mile track with 20 turns. The track was opened in 2006 and has been been getting rave reviews for its condition, width of the pavement ( 40ft) and challenging corners.
Lime Rock Park is being repaved this June --widened to 40 ft sections and getting some additional tweeks to the course ( optional configurations) ,a new pitlane and runoff in the downhill. Since we have a limited amount of spots now at LRP --this event pass is a great way to get your spot reservered before we open it up to general registration ( the May event sold out 2 mos ahead of time)
Calabogie is a 2 day event ( Saturday and Sunday) with the option of adding Friday for approved Advanced solo/Instructor candidates for $200 more.
Limerock Park is a tough the get Saturday day with a full day of classroom and track time--on NEW PAVEMENT!
