I think this is the BMW Club that is well known for their driver training... I know people who did it that recommended them to me as well. Unlike BMW's Corporate's classes... these classes are done in your own car. They hold their classes at Mosport Big Track and Shannonville.

Another one that I personally been to is the Saab Driver's Club of Canada's Enhanced Driving Schools. The club president is a bit of a dick... so hopefully you don't get paired with him... but otherwise I had plenty of fun there. They will be doing their classes at Shannonville. They used to do them at Dunnville before that track got shut down to.

I'll post some details on the Saab Club of Canada school later.

Where are some of these other driving schools held? Where it's done could affect how much you enjoy the course.

Also... Default_User said TM3 organized a driving class fro their group... do you think we should try organizing one for the EVO/RA guys on here?

Are you asking me? the guy with 6 posts LOL ?!?!
or is it directed at everyone?

I think its good for everyone - TM3 only had about 1/2 dozen or so ppl go out. I did not partake in the events - but have heard many good things.

***TIP*** remove your license plates when you take part in any road/track course event. I notice a lot of people post pics and not blur out the plate numbers....I'm sure insurance companies would love to see you track your car

lol... I'm not asking you specifically to organize a driving school.

How many people would be interested in this? I don't think it would just necessarily be for EVO guys. Learning Car Control is good regardless of what car you drive.
