M/Sport & Social: Qld Race Chix Race School & Dinner

Race Chix Motorsport 101 Course and Dinner 

Race Chix has invited BMW Club Queensland to participate in their Motorsport 101 course and attend their networking dinner on April 30th at Norwell Motorplex and HQ Hotel Underwood. Both events are for Chix who would love to start their motorsport journey and hit the track!

You MUST register on their website for both events via the links below.

Motorsport Course 101, Norwell 9am - 5pm

You will learn the fundamentals of participating in motorsport from both theory and practical perspectives. The course begins with theory (we get the boring stuff out of the way) and then the fun begins! The practical side takes place on the wet skid pan where you will learn the capability and limits of your car, whilst learning advanced driving techniques for when you head out on the track.

All you need to get started is you – you don’t even need a helmet! Our Motorsport 101 course at Norwell Motorplex includes the use of Norwell’s fleet of Toyota 86s.

Upon completion of Motorsport 101, you will be able to participate in track days with confidence and event readiness.

Ages – for 14 years and over.
