Event Description
We had so much fun driving in the rain at TDS, we want to try to do it again before 2014 comes to a close. Join us for our annual Course Rewind event at Marina Airport a month early. This is a fun-run style event where we bring back a favorite course from the previous season and run it again! This is a non-compete event, but we will have the timing system up and running.
The GGC autocross team chose June's course as our favorite already, no need to vote.
We do not require previous high performance driver training or experience, but completion of one of our Car Control Clinics or similar training is highly recommended. First timers and inexperienced autorcrossers are welcome at this event. Because this is a fun-run event, we will not have our full compliment of coaches available, but we will do our best to provide in-car coaching to all who want it.
No special car preparation is needed, in fact, we recommend you bring the car you drive on a daily basis. Doing so will give you a greater appreciation for your car's capabilities and improve your driving skills in the process.
Our events are very social and we welcome all makes of cars, not just BMWs and MINI. Unlike some other clubs, we don't limit registrations from other marques. Everyone has the same chance of getting in! You're likely to see a sprinkling of vehicles from Porsche, Mazda, Honda, Lexus, Lotus, even Aston Martin and Corvette!
