[YVR] Upcoming 2008 Driving Courses

They say...driver training is the best mod you can make for your car. For those who are interested...there is something for everything. I will likely try to make it out to a couple events this year. More dates to be updated as I find them out. I'll try to keep posts local and stuff that people from BC may actually attend. Please post any additional dates/events you are aware of. I did not include events that are exclusively track days...unless they include some portion of driver's training.

Where are the Driver Training courses held? Mission?! Boundary Bay?!

This is kinda off-topic but: does anyone know if they still have those test-driving a BMW things where they bring a BMW and let you try it out against the competitors? I remember they use to have those at PNE parking lot LONG LONG LONG time ago.

Level 1 courses from BMW Car Club are held at the British Columbia Driving Center at Pitt Meadows Airport. Level 2 courses from BMW Car Club are held at Mission Raceway.

Most of the AutoX events are held at Pitt Meadows. I understand that Boundary Bay no longer does any driving events.

As for the BMW events...a lot of car manufacturers have them. Usually they are invite only...and you have to be on the right marketing list (or know people) to get an invite. I had an invite to a Jaguar/Land Rover event last year but I couldn't go.

For the BMW courses? Yeah.

Keep in mind these courses are not the same as the ones offered by BMW Canada. They are by BMW Club...so you do all the driving in your own car.
