The Lone Star, Tejas, and Houston Chapters of the BMWCCA proudly present the second annual Texas Trifecta at the Circuit of the Americas Formula One track in Austin, TX. This multi-event weekend offers a High Performance Driving School on the beautiful and very challenging 3.4 mile, one year old home of Formula One in the United States, an autocross, and we will be adding adding a separate Saturday group drive through the beautiful Texas Hill Country. More information can be found at http://TexasTrifecta.com, and on the event registration site at http://msreg.com/TexasTrifecta14.

We could use a few more MINIs at this event! So far there are three of us in the HPDE side of the event, and one registered in the BMWCCA club race. You must have an active BMWCCA membership to register. All of the details can be found on the registration site (link listed above). This is not a NOVICE event as the COTA track is VERY fast, and technical. Our intermediate level BLUE (C) run groups are already wait listed, but we have student openings in the advanced level YELLOW (B) and uber advanced level WHITE (A) run groups.

 

I'm very tempted.

Last i heard they'd stopped doing track days at COTA, so I thought I'd never get a chance. Good they've started doing them again.

Next I'd need a car to drive. I'll have to put this on the calendar for next year. I don't think I can make it this year.

 

Nope - so far this year the Texas Region BMWCCA is the only grassroots organization with a contract at COTA. We had our first event there last June. It was a sellout and it was about as much fun as you can have in your car - with your clothes on. The track and facility are incredible!

 

I believe you.

I was at the 2012 F1 race at CoTA. It looks like an awesome track, so I'd really like to drive it sometime.
