Welcome to the Motor City Chapter BMW CCA!

It’s time for our flagship high-performance drivers education (HPDE) weekend at Grattan Raceway. This is your chance to explore and hone your driving abilities on one of the most entertaining courses in America. Grattan’s 2.0 miles of exciting and challenging corners (including a 160 degree hairpin and a downhill reverse camber turn) make it one of the best around. A recent track resurfacing only further enhances the experience.

All drivers—young and not so young; novice, intermediate, and advanced—are welcome.

This year, the event will be held the weekend of September 16-18, 2022. We offer flexible scheduling--students can register to drive on either Saturday-Sunday or Saturday only. Approved advanced students who register for Saturday or Saturday-Sunday and instructors are also invited to drive on Friday, September 16NoteYou must be an instructor or approved A+ Solo student to drive on Friday. Contact our chief instructor, Ken Rutyna, at drivingevents@motorcitybmwcca.org prior to sign-up for Friday if you are an advanced student and have not been pre-approved for A+ Solo driving.

Motor City Chapter BMW CCA prides itself on offering some of the best instruction in HPDE. No matter your driving level, we will help you improve!
