No and no. In the past , I've been to many BMW CCA driver schools where BMW executives have instructed and/or participated. Of course, if you abuse your car at one of these schools it could be another story. Driving them fast isn't abuse. Also, at some point your dealer isn't going to replace your brake pads and rotors for free. Be prepared to buy these if you track the car regularly.

What about insurance? If you crash the car during a CCA event will insurance cover you?
I have GEICO... or do you purchase insurance at the track? Also, what's the set up like of those beginner HPDE events? Would it be okay to bring a friend or girlfriend or would they be bored out of their mind? Last edited by aerostar; 02-19-2016 at 11:46 AM.. |

At CCA events, you'll have classroom that your GF will be welcome to attend, and she can look at the cool cars when you're out on track, which will typically be in one of four groups running that day. Run sessions are usually 25-30 minutes. Most chapters are happy to give adult guests rides with an instructor. They won't allow guests in student cars.
