BMW Driving Experience

Half-Day Experience - $650
Want to see what it takes to conquer the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course? Join BMW for their half-day (8 a.m. – 12 p.m. or 12 – 4 p.m.) driving experience where you will get behind the wheel for a drag race, lead/follow, and timed autocross stations, and will end the day in the passenger seat with a professional instructor as you navigate the 14-turn road course at full speed. 

Full-Day Experience - $2,500
For those looking to take the next step in their driving skills, the full-day (8 a.m. – 4 p.m.) experience builds on the fundamentals of the half-day. In addition to lead/follow instruction and a timed autocross session, you will add time on the skid pad to your coursework.
