Frequently Asked Questions:
Can my spouse/friend share a car with me?
Yes, we can accommodate two drivers in one car. Each driver must register for the event. It’s takes a bit more swapping seats to take turns but you will get equal instruction.
Do you still have the event if it rains?
We run rain or shine. If it does rain, we recommend you bring a change of clothes and proper rain gear. Rain is actually the best way to learn as it’s easy on the car and there is low traction at low speeds.
My car requires servicing and I don’t have time to fix it before the Clinic. Can I still drive?
As long as your car passes the inspection you may drive your vehicle at the Clinic. Please make sure you car passes inspection prior to the day of the event.
How will the instructor teach me?
Instruction will be a combination of the in-class session, driving your own vehicle to receive feedback and the instructor driving your vehicle to show you how you should be approaching the lesson. Our instructors are very friendly and very experienced drivers. If you feel uncomfortable with the instructor’s speed, tell him and he will drive at a level you’re comfortable with. Just remember you won’t learn as much if you don’t take the vehicle to the limit.
I don’t want anyone to drive my car. What do I do?
An instructor must drive your car to assess the limits of the vehicle. Without that assessment, the instructors cannot give you feedback based on your driving. Also, you won’t be taking full advantage of the Clinic and won’t gain a lot if the instructor doesn’t drive. If you’re still not comfortable with this, please contact the BMW Club.
Can you explain the cost of registration?
We are trying hard to keep costs down and offer an experience you’ll never forget. For $120-$140, you will be getting a 1:5 instructor:student ratio, classroom instruction, driver observation from the passenger seat and lots of driving time, with feedback on your driving from the instructor in the passenger seat. This cost will cover all the rental equipment, insurance, site rental and instructors. If you compare these prices to other schools, you’ll see you’re getting a bargain.
What do I do after I register?
The registration will be confirmed via an email confirmation sent to you. You will also be sent a registration package outlining some of the details for the school, contact information and date of the in-class session.
I have more questions. Who do I contact?
You can contact the BMW Club at info@bmwpower.ca or call Jeremy, BMW Club President, directly at 981-8057.
