I attended the BMW Ultimate Driving Event in Washington, D.C. at Fedex Field this past weekend. What a great event!
I was able to squeeze into an i8:
I took a ride in an X5 at a 54% incline:
I preregistered to autocross the new 328d M Sport and 428i M Sport. I took first place in my group. I guess 15 years of autocross/HPDE experience accounts for something.
The instructors for my group were fantastic and well experienced in various forms of Motorsport. Even though I'm somewhat set in my ways, I kept an open mind and learned a few things. One of the instructors starred in the F&F Tokyo Drift movie. I was able to get a picture taken with my first place trophy (the small blue cone
).
A very fun morning for sure! I would definitely attend again if/when the BMW UDE comes to Washington, D.C.
