BMW Driving Experience at Sydney Motorsport Park (Eastern Creek)

Just got an invite from my dealer to the Driving Experience for half day from 12.00pm - 4.30pm on Thursday 31 October 2013. $495.

Just seeing if anyone else might be interested.

I'd certainly be interested, can't promise anything as I am supposed be out in the bush for work.

If you don't mind can you send me the details.

I have been lucky enough to ride around the Creek many times on big sports bikes (R1, GSXR's and so on) and it is a great track. Nothing better than coming around turn 12 for the first time and seeing a kilometre long straight in front of you! Lots of challenging, both fast and slow, corners. Great fun!

Sounds like you have had alot of fun around there already; am jealous. I went around in a V8 Supercar as a Fathers Day present last year, but was riding shotgun and not driving myself. Really looking forward to driving myself, especially the M3 obviously.

Does anyone know if you get to drive your own car?

H, just PM'd you the e-mail I got.

Thanks mate, I got your message.

From what I've read you only drive their cars not your own.

Good times at race tracks, absolutely love it.

I've ridden around Oran Park, Amaroo and the Island, I've also driven a Formula Ford around Oran Park, what a buzz!

Hopefully I can make the day.

Hi Kaitin, just PM'd you the details.

I understand your point regarding the stress on your own car. But I just got a tune and would love to really push it. Don't get much of a chance to really see what your car can do normally.
