About this event
Welcome to the BMW CCA New Jersey Chapter
- HPDE 2024 Season Calendar-
This year, we will be hosting four premier driver schools at our favorite venues.
Why Choose BMW CCA NJ?
We mentor and nurture a learning atmosphere at all our performance driver schools. Our mission is to make you a better and safer driver, with education and safety being the foundation of everything we do while exploring the capabilities of you and your car. We have the BEST instructors around. As the first BMW CCA chapter to host a driver school, we have 50 years of experience running HPDEs. We know how to help our students learn & build solid driving skills, whether for daily driving, continued participation in track events, or even amateur racing.
What sets us apart?
BMW CCA NJ is a non-profit club run by dedicated volunteers. We do this for the love of the sport, and our goal is to foster a fun and educational environment.
What should I expect?
Students drive in “run groups” based on their previous driving experience. First timers and beginner drivers are grouped on track. This group learning experience reduces on track stress and allows drivers of similar pace to drive together. Those with more experience will be grouped into intermediate and advanced groups, respectively.
