Ultimate Driving Event 10/8-10/10 Foxboro, MA

Hey Guys,

Is this worth going to? I just signed up but am not exactly sure how they have been in the past.

The one I went to was decent. If you've never been on a track or autocross it's a good opportunity to give it a go in a BMW.

I had bits of moulding stolen off of my m3 while it was parked in the lot the last one I was at, was not pleased let me tell you. I guess this event is a good place to look for used BMW parts

Been to a few of these, they're pretty fun and informative. Definitely worth doing if you haven't done it before.

Edit: Is this the test drive one, or the full-blown track event? I'm thinking it's the former, since I'm pretty sure they stopped doing the track events due to costs. If it's the test drive setup, you can sign up for one or two cars to drive during the day around a predetermined street route.

Wow, I'm very surprised they're bringing this back. Surely a sign of an improving economy?

You'll need to have received an email containing a confirmation code. Then, you call the number and speak to a rep who sets everything up for you.
