BMW Championship Indianapolis Motors Speedway Program

Hey guys, just got an email for the "BMW Championship International Motors Speedway Program". Registered me and my wife, not much information on it though. Anyone else register? The confirmation email said, "You are confirmed to join us and will receive an email of your upcoming reservation with more event details a few days prior to the event".

The site that you register on says:

You and a guest are invited to join us at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway to put the BMW M models, including the highly anticipated BMW M2, through their paces on a closed course. Guests will have the opportunity to drive laps, ride with a professional instructor for hot laps, and maneuver through a series of tight corners, brakes, and acceleration on a timed autocross course on the iconic speedway.

Sounds like it's going to be a pretty cool event, I'm just waiting for a catch. There wasn't anything about cost, can it really be free? What am I missing?

Do you happen to have a link? I got the invitation for the tournament tickets, but didn't get one of these. Wonder if it was specific to ///M owners? We have 2 BMW's and are about to do ED on a 2017 M3 at the end of next month, would love to go do this event if able...

Absolutely! Haven't found anyone else that got this invite, not sure what I did that was so special, but I'm not complaining!

I just clicked on the link that I got and this is what it says now:

"Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, this event has reached capacity."

This sounds like it's the same as the event at Lime Rock. They run M2s and M3s on the road course. M4s in a short auto cross. And X5Ms and M5s in a drag race. It was a blast and totally free. They're doing this around the country.

Btw OP it should be Indianapolis Motor Speedway, not International. Some other attendees may gloss over the thread if they don't recognize the thread title.
