Hi everyone!
I should be getting an E90 soon so I wanted to suss out the community. I've been in Ottawa for a little while and have tried some of the motorsport around here - Calabogie motorbike school, MCO winter driving school, MCO autocross school, and MCO time & distance rally, so you have questions about those let me know. I used to drive a white Civic coupe but the ladies (And my parents) didn't like ducking into the back. I had an E30 beater back in the day so it should be nice getting back into a 3-series (And analogue dials!) |

A question to excoupe:
Which one of those listed schools has more bang for the buck? I hate to say some of driving schools are snobbish yuppies infested. |

The MCO winter school is fun, and its a mix of driving enthusiasts and safety conscious drivers who just want to know how to handle their car in the snow. It takes place at a snow course that's set up at a local race track; plenty of sliding around. Some minor risk of snapping some tabs on your bumpers if you hit a snowbank. $175 last I checked. There is some everyday practicality there since we all drive in the snow, so that's probably the most bang for your buck. The focus of the course is winter driving skills so there is more of a safety than a performance focus, but it was fun all the same. The autocross school is mainly about teaching you to drive autocross so there is somewhat less everyday applicability, but again, still entertaining. I forget how much that costs. Turn2 is about riding on a track, so it's a totally different ballgame, much more expensive; depending also on whether you have your own track prepped bike, but Calabogie is an awesome track. |
