You do not have to drive a BMW at any of the Badger Bimmer driving schools. We welcome all makes of cars. In general convertibles and SUVs/SAVs aren't allowed - see below.

Age Requirement:

All participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Helmets:

Helmets must be Snell 2015 or later. Either SA or M specification ratings are acceptable. Helmets that meet BMW CCA Club Racing eligibility rules at the time of the event are also allowed. (These presently include SFI 31.1 and FIA 8860, subject to change.)

Snell sticker must be attached inside the helmet.

2010 or earlier specification helmets can no longer be used at Badger Bimmer events.

APPAREL - Full-length pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks and full shoes are required. (Bare feet, sandals, and open toed shoes are not permitted.)

Driver/Passenger Restraints:

Cars must have equivalent restraints and seats for both driver and passenger.

Open Top Cars:

This event is being run using BMW CCA rules for open-top cars. Such cars must have a minimum of a 4-point roll bar that meets the material and installation requirements set forth by BMW CCA. This requirement can be certified either by presenting a log book from a recognized sanctioning body (SCCA, NASA, etc.) or an inspection document signed by a race car fabrication shop. Cars with soft or no top are also required to have arm restraints. "Targa" style cars with removable roof panels (e.g., many Corvettes, Porsches, etc.) will be required to have their removable roof panels installed. Please contact David Burman (DEC@badgerbimmers.org) BEFORE registering to verify that your open top car will meet our technical requirements.

Hard top convertibles are now allowed and must be run with the top closed.

SAVs and SUVs:

NO X6s, X5s, X3s or Porsche Cayennes (or any other type of SAV/SUV) will be allowed in the driving school.

Track Damage:

You will be held personally responsible for any damage to the track that may result from an incident involving you and your car. For example, if you spill oil on the track or damage a tire wall, fence or barrier, costs incurred by Road America will be passed to you for payment.

This is NOT a Racing School, but an opportunity for new drivers and experienced drivers to sharpen their skills on the road and on the track. We welcome a limited number of new drivers and will provide classroom sessions and instruction for all novice and intermediate drivers. If you are a new advanced driver to Road America an instructor will be available to help introduce you to the track. All classrooms are mandatory as this is a Driving School.

All drivers must fill out a separate registration forms. It is not advised to share a car for novices or in the same run group.

Event organizers will make the final decisions regarding run group assignment. Completing a Motorsport.reg profile will help guide that decision.

Bring your driver's license, SpeedWaiver, helmet, and signed Tech/Driver Info Sheet to registration for inspection and a sticker.

Garage space is available at the track for a fee. This space should be arranged by contacting Road America directly at (800) 365-RACE (7223). Badger Bimmers will have no involvement in arranging for garage space. All waste tires and equipment must be removed from the Road America premises by the participant. Pavement damage in the paddock area or other roadways by high point loads (e.g., by jack stands or similar equipment) shall be the responsibility of the participant causing the damage.

Drivers are financially responsible for any and all damages they cause to the facility and its parts. The only insurance covering you and your vehicle is your own. You can buy DE specific insurance from a number of companies including Lockton Affinity.
