Me, aswell as a bunch of other people are currently planning a road trip up to Race City in Calgary to recieve a personalized race/driving school from one of the instructors of the Porsche Driving Experience. The Instructor has her own Porsche race car that she would be using for instructional purposes. You would have to provide your own vehicle, so that means you get to learn what your own car will do, not some fancy porsche.
We have already recieved approval from the people at Race City, but we need a minimum 15 people.
currently, Iwe un undecided what the total cost is going to be, it won't be extremely cheap, but it has to cover the cost of renting the track, as the instructor is providing their services free of charge.
This is co-operation with the BMW club or Regina, so I'm jsut throwing it out there.

Anyone interested?

Im interested in this too, im sure a lot of people I know would be too. I would need more details like when, how much etc, but if I have a car that works this could be a great experience. Post more when you know more. I've always thought it would be cool to go to a driving school and learn a few things.

Is it like 600.00 by browsing some links looks like a driving school there is 525+tax for a day.

Looks like a sweet track wish we had one like that here.

Edit: Nevermind read you just have to pay for track rental.

Corey, settle down, I have been at work and just got off.
It looks like I may have posted this prematurely, becasue the BMW club is thinkign about backing out due to the cost of the thing.


It would be a weekend ordeal though. I'll keep trying to extract information, and try to get them to keep with it though. I missed the last meeting, so I didn;t get any up-to-date information.
I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED

I do too, seeing as how most of the people in the club own $80,000+ cars and are doctors/engineers...

I AM VERY INTERESTED, if you ca post some more info and maybe some prices we could all consider rolling down there. as long as its not crazy expensive im down!
