If you have done some SCCA events, I would say you have more experience than many in the program but if you are a maniac then never mind

T-Bone, I hope they don't phase out the MT cars! I went down to do one at the performance center and I loved it also, BMW really does know how to do this! Heel toe is an awesome skill and something to be proud of as a performance driver! Honestly I don't heel and toe on the street often, but once you are going through some mountain passes it's a necessary skill. Reading this makes me want to get back on the track!

The fear of driving manual is real, particularly on a track where mistakes are not tolerated. No lags in SMG. I wanted to see the DCT lag at the track but I didn't drive one there, yet.

Nice writeup. There's an article in this months Bimmer magazine (Issue 78, November) with an article on the Advanced M School at VIR also, if you want to read more about it.

I definitely agree! The BMW M school was a blast when I went. One instructor told us to " drive the M cars like we stole 'em", hah.

I just got my DVDs from Advanced M School @ VIR today... I loved all the cars so much, I want one of each. I saw 150 in the M5 HUD on numerous occasions. Even on the hot lap with an instructor, I don't think we went much faster than that (tho how he got to 6th on the back straight without short shifting I couldn't figure).
I didn't have the balls to enter the high-speed esses quite as fast as OP but eventually worked up to about 100MPH entry. On the hot lap the instructor entered them at 110+! Scary fast. Tremendous instruction... Incredible cars... I can't recommend this program highly enough. |

Sick.
I love how all the cars were lined up like Go-Karts at the track. M cars EVERYWHERE. $4G isn't bad considering things are covered.
