Finally it was time again for one of the yearly highlights in the West Coast Chapter, the drivers training. This we had semi-professional instructors from the BMW Sport Club for the first time – a real lift compared to the last year’s events. Matz and Mia from BMW SC helped us with the track, the exercises and gave us many interesting and useful tips and hints from their experiences in race driving.

Matz really rocked the track with his Z3 coupe.
Thus many wanted to see Magnus’ “Moby Dick” on the track he was not willing to take his white whale (Alpine-White 750iA E38) out on the track for a ride.

After many exercises in the morning and a quick lunch at the fast food restaurant nearby we extended the track and a more super stage like track was set up. Most of the participants had the big smile in their faces all the time, not so strange with this event in mind.

I didn’t want to expose my 5-series to that stress quite near the sale of it so it was left in the car lot this weekend. Last year I blasted my water pump at Vårgårda so I thought it’s best to let it rest this time. Jonas gave me a lift in his mint condition 325i E30 so it was an even better experience compared to riding “the Elephant” on the course. Thanks to all participants, it was a great day!
