dkracing · 06-15-2017, 04:53 PM

I recently visited Monticello Motor Club for BMW's M Track Day event. I wrote about my experience on RightFootDown.com: http://www.rightfootdown.com/cars/ev...-m-track-days/

Check it out, let me know what you think.

Rain does not really impact the "festivities" like it does a track day where all your stuff is out in the rain.

Yeah the drive to Monticello was killer for me.

I did the event at Homestead last weekend. I was worried the pace was going to be slow and the track time was going to be very limited. I was impressed, well worth the $250. Dinner was excellent as well and the swag bag was a nice touch.

Agreed, the dinner catering was only rivaled by my weddings. I would have subbed a t-shirt of the event for half of the swag though.

Ya that would have been cool. I'll probably never use the $30 M notepad lol

Hmm that honestly depends. At the time I tried to get into the Monticello event my original want was Saturday. I clicked Saturday it was sold out. I then clicked Sunday. Sold out. Then I clicked Friday. Sold Out, I had to go on Monday.

So while the premium still gives you a chance to attend it still is a first come first serve sold out style event.

I did the Monticello event as well and thought it was a great time overall. I was impressed with how much you got to push the cars on the track. It really gives a good idea of the engineering behind the M3 and M2. I totally recommend the experience to anyone who wants to find out what the current M cars can do when driven hard.

It's been years since I have done one of these. I have to return!!!
