MCO organise une fin de semaine de lapping à Calabogie pour $250.
Je ne suis pas associé à l'événement mais je vais y participer, car pour $250/2 jours, c'est une offre difficile à refuser.

As noted, this is not a driving school but a lapping event. And it is not hosted by a BMW Club of Canada chapter.

I encourage all members to think carefully about the important difference between lapping events--no in-car instructor and on a new, demanding course--and schools including the impact on their insurance coverage.

And please also think about the strategic importance of supporting our Ottawa club members by registering for their inuaugual school at Calabogie.

Remember. You get what you pay for.

For my part, I feel good about it on every aspect. The dates were the problem for Oct-21-22. the week before make it possible for me so I am happy !!!!!!!!

Thanks Phil for reminding us that MCO's event is a lapping weekend and not a DE. Nonetheless, it should not ditter our experienced members to attend. MCO supports the BMW Clubs by co-hosting events with Ottawa chapter on a yearly basis. Their members attend Quebec chapter events. They also support our chapter by providing us with highly qualified instructors. Not everyone requires a DE format, and this MCO event is a very exciting offering for those seeking for a lapping event. $250 for an end-of-season is exactly the insentive I was looking for.

Club directors have said and agreed so many times that the best way to support our own chapter, is to better serve our members by providing them with as much info as possible, as long as the info is in the proper section, so that members know what is a BMW Club of Quebec event, and a non-BMW Club event. Which is why we expressely opened the "Non-BMW Club events section". For those other chapters' events, or for those MCO's events and even private events...

Lee es tu inscris ?

[Lee]

Je viens de parler avec Ron Woltman de MCO (613-863-5360) et il m'a confirmé que MCO reconnait votre carte de membre du club BMW pour cet événement. Il est possible de s'inscrire en ligne, mais il semblerait que certaines personnes ont des problèmes. Il faudrait alors lui confirmer par email votre inscription. Même si c'est un "lapping day". Les instructeurs qualifiés peuvent indiquer leur status et leur disponibilité si ils désirent encadrer des conducteurs.

Parce que qu'il sera difficile de partir tôt de Montréal le matin-même, il serait préférable de partir le veille et donc de louer une chambre d'hôtel/motel pour deux nuits. Que penseriez-vous si on minimisait les dépenses en partageant des chambres?

Le format de la journée semble être un format standard de DE avec 4 sessions par jour, et des groupes cloisonnés en fonction de l'expérience et des véhicules.

[kompressorz]

Je suis OK pour partager une chambre et partir a une journée a l'avance au lieu du matin même.

[Hugo]

I registered for both days in the A group. I'm interested to share a room for friday and saturday, David will probably come with me, so 4 or 5 in a room should be ok.

[kompressorz]

Paid for 2 days, waiting for confirmation.

[horusra]

This looks like perfect date for me. How can I make sure to run with the Performance B group ? Is there a contact we know over there ?

[C.S.]

moi ç m'interesse aussi, même si je ne suis pas sur de rouler en BMW, mais avec autre choses, est ce que ça irait?

[Lee]

That was in 2006. Sorry for the false hopes.
