BMW Performance Driving School

BMW's Performance Driving School in Greer, South Carolina is a great getaway for BMW enthusiasts and those who want to "discover the joy of driving" when not in a traffic-filled commute. The $12.5 million dollar center features professional drivers and tracks, slalom courses, a skid pad, a water wall and - of course - a fleet of BMWs to choose from. Courses are scheduled throughout the year and they even offer a class for teen drivers to help them sharpen their driving skills and to become defensive, safer drivers. The one we're most interested in, however, is the M School. It is a 2 1/2 day course that features the use 500 HP M5, M3 manual and M3 SMG, as well as a visit to the Michelin test track, with options to go on to visit the Loews Motor Speedway or the Virginia International Raceway. Accommodations and meals are included for $3,650.

Bentley Driving Program

We already know that Ferrari, Land Rover, and Lamborghini have driving school programs and Maserati recently opened a North American driving school but do we really need a school to drive a Bentley? Automobile Magazine covers the Bentley Driving Program which recently came to Las Vegas. The program is for Bentley owners and those who are sales prospects. For $1500 you get to spend a day playing around with a Bentley learning not only some driving skills but also a bit of Bentley history and lore. Reading this article it seems that where the exotic car driving schools often focus on the vroom-vroom race car approach, Bentley teaches capability and grace. Of course some of the exercises do take place at 100 mph so there is still the adrenaline factor. Many of the Bentley drivers i have encountered in the Los Angeles area could definitely benefit from a little schooling.

Maserati Opens a North American Driving School


Maserati is following in the footsteps of Ferrari and Land Rover and opening a  driving school. The Master Maserati North America Driving School is open to Maserati owners or anyone who wants to drive a Maserati around a world-class racetrack, Road Atlanta. The school will begin next month and will offer one-and two-day programs and will offer the GranSport, Quattroporte and Coupe. The school will be managed by Panoz Racing School and each course is limited to 18 participants per session. One-day courses will cost $1,800 with two-day courses at $3,400, not including airfare and transportation. Two-day courses will include a dinner and stay at the Chateau Elan Inn and Resort.
