June Ultimate Driving School/Club Race School/Instructor Training School

June 08, 2018 to June 10, 2018
First, there is our traditional GVC HP driving school, which offers intensive in-car and classroom instruction on the art and science of high-performance driving. There are three separate run groups for Beginner/Novice (<4 schools), Intermediate, and Advanced students, each limited to 30-35 drivers. Run group assignments are based primarily on experience and prior evaluations (if any, including SLIP ratings), and secondarily on vehicle performance. Each student is assigned a highly-trained and experienced in-car instructor familiar with the performance characteristics of the student’s vehicle. This one-on-one instructional format is arguably the most important feature of our HPDE program. Second, GVC is offering our first ever Bimmerworld BMW CCA Club Racing School at this event. The Bimmerworld CRS is a challenging and fun track experience. Though the ultimate goal of the school is to recruit new racers to BMW Club Racing, you don’t have to drive a BMW, or have a race-prepared car, driving suit, or race harness to participate. Any vehicle that passes tech for our driving school is adequate for the CR School. Completion of the CRS does not automatically qualify you for a BMW CCA Club Racing license, but if you have the experience and meet the other requirements, you will be eligible for a rookie license, and the opportunity to join the ranks of BMW CCA Club Racing, which many consider to have the finest club racing level drivers in North America. The CRS was brought in specifically at the bequest of our Group S drivers, who have expressed strong interest in taking it. However, to insure sufficient participation to cover the additional costs of holding a CRS, upper-level intermediate and advanced students, as well as instructors, are also welcome to apply. If you think you’d like to become an instructor, start by filling out the ITS Application. For additional information, and to apply for ITS at this event, please contact GVC's ITS Chief Instructor, Ken Buschner. For ITS, please go to: http://www.gvc-bmwcca.org/Instructor_Training_School
