2016 Ultimate Driving Event

XRAVE · 02-17-2016, 11:07 AM

Anyone have an idea of when they release the schedule for UDE this year? Seems my car is going to take longer than I expected so wanted to see if I have the possibility of getting the credit.

When I was at the Performance School in January, they said NO UDE this year as they were spending that money on other things (i.e. Olympics).
I asked about UDE credits and got the shoulder shrug.
Sorry, just the messenger...

I might write a longer post later, but here's a quick one. The UDEs they've been doing for the last several years have to be incomprehensibly expensive. At the last two I've been to, where they do the autocross and ///M driving school, by a quick calculation I estimated there was AT LEAST $6,000,000 just in vehicle inventory in use to put on the event. There were just under 100 vehicles in their fleet. Can you imagine the costs involved in moving it all around the country?

There is a Winter xDrive Experience from Feb 26-28 at Mount Snow in Vermont where you'd get a $1,000 voucher similar to the UDE events. You just have to drive up to Vermont

Could get a flight for probably around 200$. Might be a good investment
