Welcome novice and returning students to San Diego Chapter BMW Car Club of America High Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) School at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, Desert Center, California. This year we are offering the opportunity for Novice students - those people who have never participated in a BMW CCA Driving School - to join us at a reduced rate.
Our Driving School mission is to improve your driving skills while having fun. Our goal is to teach you safe driving skills and habits in a controlled situation. We hope what you learn will benefit you in your normal day-to-day driving, especially when confronted with emergency situations. We will emphasize the relationship of the driver and vehicle, how to make them function in unison, and give you the opportunity to learn your limitations and expand your capabilities. Our Instructors have a lot of driving experience to mentor students.
We use a racetrack to provide a safe, controlled environment. This is not a racing school. Emphasis will be on safe, smooth, controlled driving. At no time will you be pressed to go any faster than you are comfortable. Participants will be grouped according to experience and, to some degree, model of automobile. We will run the track anti-clockwise this year.
Registration is open at Motorsportreg.com. Early Bird registration fee is $449 through February 21, 2016. Early Bird NOVICE Registration fee is $399 through February 21.
