For sure, I would love to get the Coupe going round but the suspension is not yet sorted.

What car will you be using??

Quite right it is being held in conjunction with the club,and,with the approval of BMW, as my first question was would BMW approve as no-one wants to race on tracks if it is going to affect motorplans. :rollsmile:

Are you sure the dealership is not just simply a sponsor for the event?
It seems strange to me that BMW Club is having a timed MSA event and at the same time a dealership is allowing any BMW driver to get onto the track for free.

The motorplan question has been debated ad nauseam already, just do a quick search on any of the previous track day threads for the low down.

No,just made a call back to Vaalridge who invited me to bring my M135i along and they will have their own F30 335i to take the guys around the track.Also confirmed BMW no issues as it will be controlled. :rollsmile:
Don't shoot the messenger if you have any issues speak to Pio Foglin sales manager at Vaalridge Auto.

 

[Johnny8Bit]

Not shooting the messenger.

But this means I can get my R700 track day fee refunded and go for free..
