The Beemer’s descend on The Big Z
The BMW Car Club Gauteng’s track days are immensely popular, and the next instalment at Zwartkops Raceway is only weeks away. Regular club members and racing competitors within the series are raring to go. This will be the only full BMW track day at this popular race circuit during the 2014 season so it is sure to attract many entries. BMW Car Club Gauteng
After the first two Time Trial events of the season at Kyalami and Phakisa, an exciting battle for top honours looks set for the year ahead. If you are not ready to mix it up with the real racers then this is a great opportunity for you to get yourself accustomed to racing conditions in a more controlled environment. The 10 fastest cars – the top 5 from the Time Trials and the top 5 from the Race Series, will also be entered into a special one-lap shootout that will take place at the end of the day.
To even things out a bit, the cars will be set off from a standing start as well. With trophies and bragging rights up for grabs there is plenty to fight for. Competitors from other race series are also welcome to use these events as practice in a mock race environment.

 This event will also host the second BMW Track School of the year and will be the only time it runs at Zwartkops in 2014. Novice drivers go through a theory and practical session with the professionals from BMW Driving Experience before being let loose on their own. For more information on the Track School, please contact the organiser.

The highlight of the day will be the third round of the MSA sanctioned BMW CCG Club Racing Series, and talk of the town is the possible debut of the Savspeed F30. Sav has been hard at work on a highly modified version of the latest generation 3 Series, and if his reputation is anything to go by this car is going to be insane. Sav will be out for ADF blood at the top of Class A.
Entry fees start at R850 for Time Trial entrants. Full event details and entry fees can be found on the Club website www.bmwcarclub.co.za. The action kicks off at 08:00 AM and entrance to the circuit as a spectator is free. Food and beverages will be readily available for purchase in the pit complex area.

For just R100, spectators can also be taken around the track by a professional driver in one of the Bridgestone Hot Lap vehicles – provided that they have long pants, a long sleeved top and a helmet supplied by the organizers. The obligatory indemnity form will need to be completed and signed as well.
