Join us for a fun-filled morning at the state of the art BMW xDrive Park at Waterfall in Midrand for a combined skidpan and xDrive day. The BMW Car Club Gauteng will be hosting an event at the exemplary BMW xDrive Park. Entries are limited to Club sponsors and a maximum of 40 participants can be accomodated. The day will be split into the two events – 20 participants in their own vehicles will complete the waterless skidpan for six runs (3 mirrored) with the best 5 times to count. The other 20 participants will be accompanied by a BMW Driving Experience instructor to drive BMW’s new BMW X3s on the xDrive track to showcase the vehicle’s offroad capabilities. Half way through the event, the participants will swop so that everyone gets to compete in both the skidpan and the xDrive experience. Booking secures your spot.

Spectators can attend free of charge  but will not be able to join in the off road drive. Parking is not available at the skidpan, however there is adequate parking 2 minutes away in the main car park at the xDrive offices. There is also no cover at the skidpan, so bring your umbrellas or apply your sunscreen. You can bring your own refreshments for the day, and there will be refreshments for sale at xDrive Park (cards only no cash)

All cars welcome – you do not need a 4×4 to enter.

We prefer and recommend riders to do Level 1 first and then move to Level 2. This way we know they have covered the basics.

Only 1 level can be completed on a day.

– Level 1: Explaining and adjusting the motorcycle, ABS de-activation, rider position, Off Road steering, cone riding, balancing, picking up the bike, leading the bike, slow riding, braking.

– Level 2: Bike set-up, tyre pressures, rider position, cone riding, body position, off-camber riding and steering, stopping and pulling away against an incline, uphill & downhill riding, sharp turns. High speed braking on gravel, going around obstacles. Bike recovery and if the group’s progress is quick enough and everybody seems competent then we will do a technical ride up a 4×4 track, gymkhana, sand and trail riding.

Remember our rules still apply, you only do what you feel comfortable with. Come and have fun on that GS and challenge yourself.
