Mid-Ohio Sports Car CourseAbout this event
If you're interested in accelerating your driving skill development or considering advancing to the ranks of BMW CCA or PCA Club Racing, the BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course is the event for you.

This BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School is hosted by the BMW CCA Buckeye Chapter at Mid-Ohio, August 2-3, 2025. Mid-Ohio is the favorite track of many drivers. With it's recent repaving it is smooth and fast.
Any car suitable for use in a BMW CCA HPDE event can be used. Participants do not need a race prepared car, and all manufactures/models of cars are welcome. It is recommended that you utilize all the safety equipment that you and your car have at all times. SNELL 2015 or NEWER HELMETS REQUIRED.

The 2 day BimmerWorld BMW CCA Club Racing School consists of eight classroom sessions and eight track sessions. The classroom curriculum covers the fundamentals of closed circuit, door-to-door performance driving, competitive passing techniques, driver/race car preparation, and knowledge of BMW CCA Club racing rules. On the track, you’ll experience various passing exercises, driving three-wide at speed, green-flag practice starts, and a full simulated race exercise; all under the watchful eye of the BMW CCA Club Racing On-track Instructors. After each on-track session, the instructors and students review what transpired on the track. Sharing learnings, making observations and reviewing mistakes as a group allows for different perspectives and enhances the learning environment. A considerable amount of effort is aimed at the mental aspects of racing and not just the mechanics of moving the car around the pavement.The learning is accelerated, the driving is fast, and the experience is unforgettable!
In addition to the 2 day (Sat-Sun) club race school you can also signup for Friday. Friday is run using HPDE rules for instructors, A+ students and Club Racing School attendees.

Have them signup for Buckeye Chapter's HPDE at this event and enjoy being at the track together. For more information on the HPDE go to: Buckeye Chapter HPDE
