I'll be there... :rocks: Road Atl is always a good time.. I don't think they are doing the BMW corral this year which sux

I had a good time doing the Parade lap last year plus we got cheaper tickets...

How do I find out if they're doing the BMW corral? I've been going ever since I moved here. This will be my third year going.

Well last year was the first year I participated in the BMW Corral.
I found out about it via the schedule of events..
A BMW Parade lap was listed on it so I inquired and bought BMW corral tickets thru Road Atlanta ..
this is not the case this year.. yet anyway.
So I am going to hold off on buying tickets in case they do end up having this corral given you get like 10% off ticket price..
the car corals are listed here..

the Bimmerstrasse corral is listed under Petit Lemans but according to Road Atlanta they have not committed to being there yet... hopefully this will change

Cool, thanks for the info. I wouldn't park in the car corral but I would like to do the parade lap though.

Yeah I didn't actually park over there either I just took advantage of the parade lap and free food they served.. If I get any updates or info I'll post it here..

Got this note from Peachtree Chapter BMW CCA..

Unfortunately, there won't be a Bimmerstrasse at Petit this year. Since there isn't anything BMW racing in this year's event, they're not very interested. We could do it last year because of the BMW presence in the race, and had the funding to do it. So, unless BMW NA decides to try something at the last minute, we'll have to wait until next year for another corral (hopefully next year!).

There are a lot of Peachtree Chapter members that always go to the race. Usually everyone congregates at the top of turn 5, right around where we were last year. Hope to see you there!

Thanks again,
