You must be a licensed driver, 18 years of age or older, and you must be a BMW CCA member to be eligible for enrollment. Non-member registration includes a one-year BMW CCA membership. Please be sure to include or update your experience and your emergency contact info in your MotorsportReg profile when you register.
Car Control Clinic: Attendance at a GGC Car Control Clinic is strongly recommended and is typically a prerequisite for first-timers who do not have previous high-performance driving experience. For this event, we may waive this requirement on a case-by-case basis.
Documents: In order to minimize person-to-person contact during check-in, you will have to upload some documents to your online registration form that in the past would have been collected during check-in. The necessary uploads are described below. You will find instructions for uploading these documents in the registration form and confirmation e-mail. In addition, the Golden Gate Chapter will be using an online waiver system. In order to use this, you will be asked to provide a phone number at which you can receive SMS text messages.
Helmets: Snell certified (M, SA or EA) helmets are required for all track events. The Snell 2010 standards are grandfathered for this year, but will not be accepted after 2021. You will be required to upload a photo/scan of your helmet’s Snell sticker no later than 10 days prior to the event (18 August).
Sharing a car: If you would like to share a car with another student, please contact the Registrar by clicking the “Send a message” to the registrar link at right before registering.
Tech Inspection: All cars that go on track must pass a tech inspection before the event; the inspector must complete and sign the Tech Inspection Form. You must upload a photo or scan of the competed inspection form no later than 10 days prior to the event (17 August).
- The sound limit for this event is 103 dB. Mufflers are required.
- Convertibles and T-top cars must have 5-point/6-point belts and arm restraints, as well as an approved roll bar installed. Factory “rollover protection” for a soft top (e.g., BMW Z3 and Z4, Porsche Boxster) is not sufficient for the school. Convertibles with hard tops, including folding hard tops, are NOT ALLOWED. No exceptions.
- Examples of cars NOT ALLOWED: Firebirds and Camaros with T-tops or convertibles; any Corvette other than the Z06 coupe and the C7; Porsche convertibles and Targas. The Lotus Elise, Corvette C7 and Acura NSX, while targa-style cars, ARE ALLOWED due to their structural design only if the hard roof panel is in place (the soft roof panel is not sufficient). It is essential that you email us to discuss these issues well in advance if you plan to bring a convertible or T-top car. We will not give refunds if you arrive with an ineligible car.
Additional important information, a FAQ, a program overview, and the required GGC BMW CCA tech form are available in the event document folder.
