Need to know a couple of things:

1) How much?
2) will there be food included?

Definitely seems very high. Our BMW Durham track days last year were less than half that price for a full day of track (From 9am-5pm) at Shannonville with Pro Driving Instructors and Skid Pad and Catering with free Pre-Race and Post-Race inspection.

AND We're a dealership!

+1

I've done most of them up to "Perfection" where they supply E90/E92 335i and M3's. I'd like to do the Fascination I/II in Tremblant one of these days, but the Winter Drivers Training which i just attended back in February was the most involved/fun i had.

Not really comparing apples to apples then right? Considering Shannonville is 1/3 the cost to rent than Mosport big track AND doesn't require marshals around the entire track?

I'm not saying its worth it, but IMO all you stealers can get together and probably run a killer event if you actually polled (and then listened) to your clients as far as feedback on what they want. Also, i believe your days allow non-bmw's right? To me thats a plus, but maybe not to everybody. The flyer on page 1 doesn't state if they limit cars but at that price i'm willing to bet (as much as the entry fee) that they do.

The race instructors they outsource are from the former Horizon driving school (the guys who coach the likes of that douchebag Jim Kenzie in his stupid corner on that wretched show). The dude in the pic in the blue shirt races in cascar as well as a few other series.

In the end, your day is the same, at a cheaper track and hence a cheaper price.

Training 1 is cheaper but not Training II and III. The first one you don't get to go on track, just various exercises.

I did do the course and no it's not in a parking lot but close enough
It's a good learning experience but it's definitely not TRACK fun.
