Please note: this is a stand alone event and not a round of our RX Automotive Sprint Series. By popular demand we have locked in another SDT (Safe Drive Training) Driver Training day at Morgan Park on Tuesday 24th May 2022. The last two of these events sold out quickly and have been thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees. Loads of track time, excellent instructors and a friendly relaxed atmosphere are what members are saying. Check out these two videos to learn more about SDT and what you’ll experience on the day. You may also spot some familiar faces.

** Registering for this event
Please register in two (2) places:
-
(Please note - These events are limited to a total of 24 vehicles and open to the public. BMW Club will monitor the registrations with SDT and update as necessary. It is advisable to register quickly to ensure you do not miss out on a spot.)
-
- 1. Online via the Safe Drive Training website via the link below. This registers you for the event and also where you make payment direct to SDT. In the “Proposed Date” section of the form please put “24 May 2022 with BMW Club QLD). Then select “Advanced Car Control” as your event. The event is actually their “Sports Driver Training” but this is not an option on the online form.
- Defensive Driving - SAFE DRIVE TRAINING - Defensive and Advanced Driving Courses available across Asia-Pacific region (sdt.com.au)
- 2. Once you are registered and have made payment to SDT, please click Register in this event via the BMW app or website, so we know you are coming.

Once you have registered with SDT they will email you videos to watch approximately a week out from the event. These videos form 90% of the driver briefing to save time on the day. They are full of helpful information and funny bits to keep them entertaining. You will also receive information on tyre pressure, the track circuits they'll run on the day and the itinerary for the day. That will all come from SDT but I'm here to help with questions, just reach out!
** Price
We have a group booking discount of $300 for a full day. Please ignore the prices on the registration form.
** What you must have and need:
- 1. CTP Rally Extension for road registered cars - call your CTP insurer and ask for a Rally Extension. Some insurers charge $10. They'll ask you what the name of the event is and this will be "SDT - Safe Drive Training - Sports Driver Training" , location, Morgan Park Raceway. They will then email the Rally Extension to you.
- 2. Australian Standard Helmet.
- 3. Full length clothing covering from neck to ankle to wrist. It is a good idea to layer up in case you get hot when not on the track.
- 4. Enclosed footwear.
- 5. Gloves (optional).
- 6. Food and drink. Last time the canteen was not open, but town is only about a 10 minute drive if you want to pop out and grab something.
- 7. Hat, sunscreen, umbrella and all the good things to keep you from getting sunburnt.
- 8. Chairs and anything else to make your pit time more comfortable.
- 9. In car timers etc. Times are not recorded on the day, however you can keep track of your times via in car methods. App’s such as TrackAddict are great as well to download to your phone. I can help you on the day with setting this up if you would like.
- 10. GoPro type cameras mounted to the outside of vehicles must have a secondary tether to a separate part of the car.
** One the day
Please meet at the track after you have filled up, grabbed coffee and some breakfast. We'll be allocated pit bays on arrival. Times and itinerary for the day will be emailed out from SDT closer to the 24 May. Please use any of the lower level pit bays that are available.
** Accommodation
The lovely Coachman’s Inn is our chosen hotel. They have a pool and restaurant onsite which will be fabulous after a hot day at the track! Please call the hotel direct to book as they will match any online price.

After breakfast everyone can decide on their best route home. Those who are towing trailers may like to take the quickest route while others may like to drive the very scenic drive through Killarney and up to Queen Mary Falls. NB Update 22.05.22: We have had word that there is a lot of damage on the scenic drive to Queen Mary Falls and advisable not to take that way.
It will be a great couple of days to be enjoyed by not just the drivers but family and friends also as spectators/supporters.
