The Boston Chapter is back for our 22nd Annual Boston Chapter Bimmers Across the Border XXII Driving School at the incredible LeCircuit Mont Tremblant and Tremblant Resort sponsored by HMS Motorsport.

The Canadian Border is open for Vaccinated travellers and use of the ArriveCAN app is a quick and easy way to traverse the border. See details here. https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/wizard-start 

THIS IS A LIMITED ATTENDANCE EVENT DUE TO THE LOCAL RESTRICTION OF 30 CARS PER TRACK SESSION AND SO THE EVENT IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY. Le Circuit Mt Tremblant is a unique track and this is a special opportunity to run on this storied race track with a smaller number of cars and tons of track time.

EVENT FORMAT CHANGE - We have space in our run groups for qualified intermediate and advanced drivers and so we are opening up registration for SINGLE DAY drivers for Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The event format will be just 2-3 run groups for the entire event and so this will be 2-3 hours (or more) of track time each day. The general qualifications and rates are noted below.

INSTRUCTORS may also register for Single day Attendance for Open Laps at a discounted rate with option to coach a driver if they wish.

The setting is the European-style resort village Mont Tremblant nestled in the splendor of the Laurentian Mountains; Mont Tremblant is located just 90 miles northwest of Montréal.

This is the perfect vacation getaway for the entire family. The driving enthusiasts’ have the world class racetrack and everyone else has a world class resort all within a radius of only 2 miles! Come early, stay late, and bring your friends… you can easily spend a week without getting bored. The area features fine restaurants, shopping, and over 100 miles of protected trails for biking, skateboarding, and rollerblading. There are two great golf courses, an aquatics center and spa, and a beautiful lake with a large beach. There are activities for the entire family.

The Track - This village is only 10 minutes away from the world class Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. Built in 1964 in the shadow of the majestic Mont-Tremblant, the picturesque and twisty 15-corner 2.65-mile track was completely rebuilt and upgraded in 2001. It is two meters wider all around with extensive runoff areas everywhere. Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant has been upgraded to meet FIA vintage Formula racing safety standards. If you loved the track before, you won't believe it now!

Situated in one of the most gorgeous settings in the world for a race track, the layout is a classic, as it combines the natural topography of the site with elevation changes from the start/finish line, to corner 8 and back again. The track is bordered by Lake Moore and Devil River (La Diable).

Driver Qualifications to Attend

This is a three day event for intermediate and advanced drivers based on the track rules for simultaneous cars on track. 

Registration is open to any Solo'd driver with at least 8+ track days experience at High Performance driving schools prior, with a record of positive evaluations from your past instructors. Please contact the registrar if you have any questions about your eligibility for Friday. Drivers in other chapter's advanced programs, such as A-Solo/S-Group, may apply to drive in ISG (Described below) by emailing the registrar with their driving resume.

Independent Study Group. For advanced students who want to extend their skills in a safe, fast-paced coaching environment, the Boston chapter of BMWCCA offers its Independent Study Group (ISG)

To promote continuous advanced skill development for experienced, independent drivers, ISG encourages students to identify the areas in which they want to improve, then allows them to create a personalized curriculum for achieving their goals. 

At each event, every ISG student is assigned a coach who will work with them to achieve their goals. ISG drivers are often offered additional solo track sessions and the opportunity to drive in the instructors’ run group.

ISG Qualification - Soloed drivers with substantial experience and the skills to drive a consistent line, at an advanced run-group pace, on a variety of race tracks are eligible for consideration. After passing a thorough checkout drive with an ISG instructor, which emphasizes awareness, safety, consistency, and pace, the ISG candidate is admitted into the group.

ISG on Track, Classroom and Exercises - On the racetrack, ISG drivers spend working sessions with their assigned coach to execute their personalized plan. Classroom sessions comprise lively discussions of driving lines, corner approaches, speeds, data analysis, and a wide range of additional topics. Specialized exercises are offered to improve situational awareness, increase comfort levels in close-quarters driving, and practice passing.

ISG, Serious Car Control - For advanced car control methods, essential for the final reductions in lap times, ISG students are invited to two Advanced Car Control Clinics (AC3) each year at Lime Rock Park. An AC3 event begins with a discussion of tire dynamics and grip, balance, weight transfer, and an introduction to suspension concepts that alter the understeer/oversteer characteristics of the car. Then, on the handling course and skid pad, drivers learn the methods for inducing controlled oversteer with the throttle and brake, while learning to correct and prevent understeer.
