Welcome to the Motor City Chapter BMWCCA!
Join us for our annual one-day high performance
driver's education (HPDE) event at Waterford Hills.
Conveniently located in metro Detroit, Waterford Hills offers
an invigorating driving experience for novice and expert alike.
This year, the event will be held on Friday, June 17, 2022.
What better way to start a summer weekend?
2022 marks our 18th consecutive year at Waterford Hills.
Motor City BMWCCA prides itself on offering some of the best instruction in HPDE. No matter your driving level, we will help you improve!
We are back to in-car instruction! Students will safely learn and develop high performance driving techniques, the driving line at Waterford Hills, and situational awareness through on-track and classroom experiences. In-car instructors are provided for all students, and solo opportunities are available if the student and instructor agree it’s appropriate.
Location: Waterford Hills Road Racing, 4770 Waterford Rd, Village of Clarkston, MI 48346. The track is situated on the grounds of the Oakland County Sportmen's Club, between I-75 and Dixie Highway (US 24).
Our driving groups: Participants will be organized into one of three driving groups (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) based on experience. Passing rules are more lenient for more experienced students. Our goal is to foster a safe and invigorating environment for everyone.
Taste of the Track. We will again provide our unique Taste of the Track sessions in the afternoon. This is an excellent opportunity for people who want to experience racetrack driving, but at controlled speeds. The rules are: (a) no helmets or tech inspection required, (b) a classroom introduction to high performance driving, and (c) lead-follow instruction (no in-car instruction) in small groups, with controlled straightaway speeds.
BMW CCA membership required. Under current BMW CCA rules, you must be a member or associate member of the BMW CCA to participate in this school. If you are not already a member or associate member, you can sign up before registering at the club's web site, www.bmwcca.org. We are also offering registration to non-members at a higher registration fee, but we encourage you to become a member or associate member before registration to speed up the process.
Covid-19. We have no idea what Covid-19 restrictions, if any, will be in place on the day of the school. However, we will follow all federal, state, and local Covid-19 requirements in effect at the time. Currently, we do not plan to require that vaccinated and unvaccinated participants be treated differently or to require masking (although you are welcome to wear a mask if you like). However, we will be asking certain questions on vaccination status as part of the registration process. Note: We are not offering lead/follow instruction at this school, except for Taste of the Track. If you are assigned an instructor but refuse an in-car pairing, you will not be allowed on track. Do not register for this school (except for Taste of the Track) if you would refuse an in-car pairing. You can review our Covid guidelines for track events HERE.
Breakfast, lunch, and water. Because we cannot predict what Covid-19 restrictions will be in effect on the day of the school, please bring your own food and water for the day.
We’ll take a break for lunch at midday. Bring bottled water to keep yourself hydrated!
