BMW does an awesome job with these events and it's amazing they are free. Signed up!

Looking forward to seeing what an M5 can do around the track.

Thank you! Took the last spot for the 12th at 6:00pm.
This is going to be my first time so I'm super excited!!! Now all I have to worry about is whether I want to hop on the M5 or the M4 🤔
Anyone making the drive from NYC?

This is held every other Friday, and has been going on for at least the last 6 months. You will drive 4 different models, 4 laps of the track (PBIR) in each, alone in the car, with an instructor leading the group. When I was there the instructor recognized me (I'm a regular there), and then asked each of the other 3 guys if they had track experience. Too which they all responded "oh sure"! He then proceeded to lead at an enthusiastic pace (I saw 150+ on the long back straight in the M5), and a good time was had by all.
They had the M235, M2, M4, M5, M850i, and X4M available to drive. The price is right (free), and you can return. Just not like the next week. Decorum people..decorum.

Don't expect to feel what those cars are fully capable of around the track, for that you need to do M school at the perf centers, these are nowhere near that, lead to follow at a pace, still a lot fun for those who've never been on a track, highly recommend.

It depends. Last time I went, it was this Italian tuner guy from Boca making the pace. He was pretty quick. One female attendant even broke out in tears because she was scared. It was fun.

I can't say enough good things about Adam. He has been my enabler right from the start of my track experience. I remember his admonition in my first drivers meeting to us first timers where he said something to the effect of "for you new guys I have a cautionary warning...this is a gateway drug". Boy, was he ever right in my case. I am a hopeless junkie. Three to four weekends every month. If there is an event somewhere in Florida I am there. Thanks Adam.
