Did they teach you to tailgate? It is an important BMW skill.

I tried my best to tailgate my coach during the lead/follow. 😂 But otherwise I was the only car on the course.

Everyone is a BMW driver when there is a slow car in the left lane.

People become Mad Max when the slow car is a Prius.

I'm surprised that no one has said to hit the ATM before the track to have the cash tip for the instructor...\

All kidding aside...I would like to have some 1 on 1 coaching from you this coming season. My good friend Jonathan Adams ( SpecE46 racer ) speaks very highly of you. 2023 is the year I'd like to take driving more seriously .
I'll reach out via your website .

You won’t regret this decision, keep an open mind and you’ll unlock quite a bit of your potential working with Peter. Have fun!
