Badger Bimmers hosted a 3-day driving school this past weekend at Road America, which is about an hour NW of Milwaukee. The weekend was balanced between classroom, parking lot exercises (i.e. slalom, lane change, emergency braking, etc) and 4 30-minute sessions with private instruction per day.

It was a lot of fun and we learned a ton of information around proper driving techniques, vehicle physics, finding the proper line, dissecting each turn of the track and overall high performance driving.

There was a huge turnout with mostly BMW, Porsche and GT-R's. They kept us pretty busy and I tried to take pictures when I had down time, which was far and few between - enjoy!

Quick video of 1 lap, available in 720p (excuse the occasional banter with my instructor):

Here I am rounding turn 5

Another coming out of turn 6

This GT's license plate read "ENZOETR" - LOL

The Carrera GT and GT3 are owned by a husband and wife!

There were a lot of fully race-prepped cars, I was very impressed.

I got a ride from an instructor in his 650hp GT-R that sounded like a fighter jet when it roared down the front straightaway at 170 mph!

Sick cars, and great vid of your 335 at Road America. Nothing better than learning proper driving technique from a professional instructor. Going through the carousel looks like you pull some good G's. Makes me want to go out and hit the track!

DirrtysAnchez335i · 10-06-2010, 03:39 PM

your car was the best...
