Cars forming up on Red Star Raceway grid for parade
The BMW Car Club of Gauteng hosted yet another successful track day at the popular Red Star Raceway in Delmas on Saturday 20 August 2016. The event was held in conjunction with the brand’s 100th birthday Centenary celebrations. Bridgestone SA were also there with their pink squad to promote the Pink Valve Caps Project – Breast Cancer Initiative.
The day kicked off with the usual Bridgestone BMW Track School and Hot Lap sessions for those passengers who were brave enough to be taken around the track in the various cars from BMW Driving Experience which is the BMW Advanced Driving School.
The Bridgestone Track Challenge also brought with it plenty of fast cars with some impressive times being recorded as the competitors made their way around the tight and technical Red Star Raceway.
