You think the $895 is worth it?

bulldog_yyc · 03-25-2010, 09:53 PM

Skidpad and instructional stuff should be good for beginners who have no experience on the track. It really does give you a feeling for how your car will behave at corners.

almost $900 for a track day seems a little high id say...

Soni · 03-26-2010, 05:55 AM

A friend of my organizing a few track date events through out the summer, the cost is half of Budd's, also got one on one instructors and will provide lunch as well. Location also at Mosport big track. PM me your email address and I will forward the info.

Actually, these guys are coasting on brand loyalty (and maybe decent service) for client retention. I used to service my Lexus at Erin Park Lexus, and they'd have a nice free event every year for all their clients (not track related, more like a dinner / show etc...)

i can't answer that for you..a regular day at mosport will be about 300...you bring your own lunch or buy it there...another what 20 max...you do the math..skid pad driving...no thanks....catered lunch....okay...might be worth it if i was being server lobster and caviar and being hand fed by a bunch of playboy playmates......and you factor in what you value for your dollar......for me..hell no..its not worth it....pay almost a G for a track day....maybe if they were gonna let me abuse a lambo all day there.....lol...

I would have to agree, especially when you are using you own car.

If it was one of there M series or the new 335is than I may conceder it.

Z06Driver · 03-26-2010, 10:09 AM

More like a rip off!

sgmpw · 03-26-2010, 10:28 AM

Way overpriced...though maybe I should spend the $ so when my 335i overheats on lap 2 (my build doesn't have the oil cooler) I can ask a bunch of BMW employee's what they are going to do about it. The ad says 'at speeds your BMW was designed for'.

I imagine once I start asking they'll be staring at their shoes a lot...or hiding...

or they'll say you're SOL on warranty

john335i · 03-26-2010, 02:28 PM

BMW driver training course is cheaper, and you have the use of there cars, not trashing your own.

It is highly unlikely that your car will overheat on lap 2 or even 10 laps in Mosport. You clearly must be doing something wrong.

The one held at the parking lot?? What fun is that?

john335i · 03-27-2010, 03:22 PM

Maybe if you would have done the course you would know.
