As we did in August, Trillium is returning to in-car instruction as an option for those students and instructors who are fully vaccinated. In-car instruction will only be available to students and instructors who are both fully vaccinated and willing to upload proof of vaccination status. Anyone who is not fully vaccinated, or does not want to divulge their status, will not be eligible for in-car and will be required to use the lead-follow format instead. These steps are optional for people in the pre-approved Solo group. After registering for the event, please go to http://msreg.com/TrilliumInCarInstruction and indicate your preference regarding in-car instruction.
COVID
As the Province now mandates mandatory vaccine certificates and eventually a vaccine passport for indoor events, we are obligated to adjust our rules regarding the classroom as follows:
The following protocols will be followed:
NEW Requirement:
- To attend the classroom, you must provide proof of vaccination in MotorsportReg, as described below.
Carryover from the August Advanced Driving School:
- To receive in-car instruction, you must provide proof of vaccination (unless the student and instructor are from the same household).
- Eligibility for consideration for PROMOTION to a higher run group or SOLO requires in-car assessment and classroom instruction. Students who have not provided proof of vaccination, use the lead-follow format, or are not permitted in the classroom, will not be eligible for promotion.
- Mask requirements remain in effect – wear a mask indoors at all times, and outdoors if less than 2 meters apart. STAY HOME if you are exhibiting any COVID related symptoms. The Club will reimburse you after you provide a doctor’s note.
The good news is that we can continue to have classroom and in-car training as well as process promotions for the vaccinated.
Providing Your Vaccination Certificate
We do not accept proof of vaccination by email, nor can you present it at registration. The only way we accept proof of vaccination is for you to upload it into MotorsportReg.
For those who have already provided proof of vaccination in MotorsportReg, you need not do it again. For those who have not provided proof of vaccination already, please go to https://msreg.com/TrilliumInCarInstruction and select the in-car option. To be considered fully vaccinated, you must have received two doses, and your second dose must be completed before October 8, 2021.

Pre-requisites and Conditions
- You must bring an approved and signed Technical Inspection Form
- You must bring an approved and signed BMW Trillium waiver
- PLEASE NOTE: CARS EQUIPPED WITH COLLISION AVOIDANCE BRAKING SYSTEMS AND/OR LANE DEPARTURE CORRECTIVE SYSTEMS: Only BMW cars equipped with these systems will be allowed to participate at Trillium track events, and drivers of these BMW cars will be given special instructions. ALL OTHER BRANDS OF CARS WITH THESE SYSTEMS INSTALLED ARE NOT ALLOWED AT TRILLIUM TRACK EVENTS.
- Any make of open-top car (convertible, T-top or Targa top) with factory installed rollover protection meets our standard. On track, the convertible top must be in the "up" position or the removable components latched in place. If the open-top car does not have factory installed rollover protection, a roll bar or roll cage must be installed. In that case it can run with the top down with the removable components not in place. It is up to you to ensure that the cage meets the standards of an approved sanctioning organization, such as those of of BMW CCA Club Racing, PCA Club Racing, NASA, SCCA or CASC-OR. Cages approved by Chump/Champ or by LeMons are not accepted. A roll bar must also meet the “broom stick rule”, namely that the driver’s helmeted head is below a broom resting on the top of the windshield and the roll bar. In the case of a rollover in an open car, there is a danger of losing a limb or a hand unless arm restraints are employed.
- Vehicles that may not/not participate include: Open-wheeled cars, trucks (including light trucks), vans (including minivans), SUVs, cross-overs, military vehicles, delivery vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, motorcylces, etc. Basically anything that isn't a coupe, gran coupe (i.e. sedan without a b-pillar), sedan, station wagon, hatch back, or compact. Please note Trillium reserves the right to restrict any vehicle from participation if we believe there is an unacceptable safety risk to either the driver and/or other participants.
- Hybrid / Electric vehicles: If it's a car, you may bring it but please note that as of 2018 there were no charging stations available at Mosport.
- Helmets must meet the Snell SA2010 standard, or later. A very limited number of loaner helmets are available at the track. Motorcycle helmets are not allowed. Please note an 'M' helmet does not mean Motorsport. It means Motorcycle.
- The driver and passenger seat belts must be equal. This means if your driver seat has a 5-point harness, your passenger seat must also have a 5-point harness.
- Long pants are mandatory, no tank tops, no open shoes, no synthetics (cotton or silk only)
- Refunds: Fees are refundable up to 15 days prior to the event. Please note the club is not responsible for currency fluctuations. There are no refunds for cancellations at 14 days or less.
- Driver substitutions are not allowed
- Student drivers are NOT permitted to carry any passengers while on track, or during skid pad/autoslalom exercises, except for Trillium approved instructors. Instructors are the only drivers permitted to carry passengers in their cars, such as the school students, or guests.
Your car must be inspected by a licensed mechanic according to all of the criteria on the club's technical inspection form. At the time of your inspection you must ensure your mechanic completes and signs the form. This inspection should be completed no earlier than 4 weeks before the driving school. A separate technical inspection is required for each and every driving school you attend. You must present the completed and signed form on the morning of the first day of the driving school. Without a completed and signed form you will not be allowed out on the track.
