It is flat and has turns in it with lots of cones
Seriously, there are a couple of courses. They are tight by design to keep the speed down. I'm guessing we don't get over 35 or 40mph. My group had an instructor who was a female drifting champion of some kind. She took us for a lap in a 535i and showed us how it was done. Incredible what she did with that tank errr sports sedan. Anyway, her demonstration really showed how well these cars stay in control (with the nannys). I was much more confident to let it rip when I was driving after seeing what she could do with the car. I got fastest time and no cones knocked down. It was pure luck. It did give me a new appreciation for the capabilities of the 5er. I switched to the F30 because the 5 was getting so big.
Anyway, BMW puts on a great event. Totally worth the time.
