Level 1 Course

BMW Driver Training in Europe provides a comprehensive multi-level training programme with participants starting with the first level course and then working their way up level-by-level to an ever-increasing standard.

During 2006 BMW New Zealand will provide an introduction to BMW Driver Training with the Level 1 course, as well as an advanced level course.

However, Level 2 Driver Training will only be offered to drivers who have completed the first course. Level 2 Driver Training commenced on July 3rd, 2006.

The Programme

Each course is accompanied by thorough theoretical instruction followed by direct application of the knowledge acquired in simulated practical situations.

Participants arrive at the circuit at 9am for hospitality and introductions.

The full day begins with a briefing at 9:30 am and includes on track activities that enable participants to appreciate the technology and performance of the cars and the correct driving technique.

Each driver will drive over 20 laps of the racetrack througout the day to learn correct driving lines.

All participants receive expert tuition via a radio communication system linked to our instructors.

The programme does not involve racing between the participants.

However, at the end of the day an experienced racing driver will take guests for a hot lap in a BMW M5 around the the Pukekohe Grand Prix circuit at speeds of over 250 kph!
