WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca Driving School
Join the BMW CCA Golden Gate Chapter for the weekend of February 29th & March 1st, 2020 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA! Laguna Seca is one of America’s most exciting and challenging race tracks, making it a great place to learn the art of high-performance driving from the dedicated team of experienced GGC instructors. You’ll go home with skills you can use on the roads every day as well as some great memories of laps at this famous racetrack.
Our events are driving schools, not open track days; every student is assigned an instructor for the duration of the event. Our focus is on safety and learning. The price for this 2 day event is $750 for BMW CCA members ($798 for non-member and 1 year membership is included).
A new opportunity is now available for a select group of enthusiasts who want to take the HPDS experience to the next level — Group S. This is a solo run group and is intended for the most advanced students. Although there is no in-car instruction, Group S is not just open lapping. Students will work with instructors both in the classroom and on the track (with advanced driving exercises). Group S will foster advanced skills that are useful whether driving on clear track or in traffic. Group S drivers must already be comfortable in traffic, and will work on becoming even more proficient in traffic. The Chief Driving Instructors will review your qualifications for entry into this run group. Please ensure all relevant driving experience is noted in your registration.
The Advanced Data Coaching (ADC) option is available to both advanced (A) run group and Group S drivers. The ADC program is designed to take some of the guesswork out of evaluating driver performance. A data acquisition system and video camera will be mounted to your car. Before each session, you will meet with your driving coach to discuss goals. After each session, your data and video will be analyzed, progress will be assessed, and new goals will be set. This allows you to focus on developing the skills that are most important for you. Group A drivers in ADC will have some in-car instruction, but the focus will be on the data. Registration for ADC program does not guarantee admission. Please ensure all relevant driving experience is noted in your registration.
Our HPDS and Advanced Data Coaching programs receive rave reviews from driving enthusiasts every year. You'll go home with new skills that you can apply to your daily driving as well as some great memories of doing laps at this fantastic racetrack.
A block of rooms is available to students at the Hilton Garden Inn Monterey. You will receive booking details in your confirmation e-mail after you’ve registered.
