Trillium Race School at CTMP

If you're considering advancing to the ranks of BMW Club Racing or CASC Racing, or want to be exposed to new concepts and on-track experiences, then this event is for you. This school is open to all drivers experienced with high performance driving on the track. Instructors and signed-off advanced students of the BMW Club high performance driver education program are welcome, as well as participants with equivalent experience from other recognized organizations. You will need to be a member of either the Trillium BMW Club or any chapter of the BMWCCA to participate. The event will be held on the April 28-29 2019 weekend. A race school weekend consists of an intensive program of in-class sessions and on-track exercises. There will be four classroom sessions and four track sessions each day. The classes cover such topics as the rules, race craft, mental preparation, practice and qualifying techniques, surviving the start, etc. On-track sessions consist of a variety of exercises, including two or three-abreast driving, leap-frog passing, practice starts, and simulated qualifying, culminating in a mock race in the last session on Sunday (optional). There will be no instructors in the student cars, though there will be instructors present on the track and in the classroom observing your behaviour and skill and participating in the discussions in the class. After successfully completing this school you will have satisfied the educational requirement for applying for a BMWCCA Club Race license. This school can also qualify you to apply for a CASC-OR regional race license. Any car suitable for use in a BMW Club driving school may be used, all the way up to fully prepared race cars. Participants do not need race-prepared cars, nor do cars need to be BMW's. Note that this year the helmet requirements have been updated (same as for the ADS): Helmets must be either Snell SA2010 or Snell SA2015.
