Pairs Championship

Looking for a new challenge this year then come out and compete for the “Pairs Championship”!

This new competition will be made up of 4 different and separate events held throughout the year, designed to challenge your driving skills and team work.

The events will be

• Saturday May 11^th – A “treasure hunt” style drive. (The Spring Fling Tour)
• Saturday July 13^th – An Autocross (The current Autocross III event)
• A Road Rallye TBD – But expected to be in June or August
• A Gymkhana TBD – But expected to be early Sept

There is a Rallye School coming up on May 5^th and it’s recommended to attend that or at least an early season Rallye event (Dates due out soon) to get yourselves familiar with the skills need to complete a Time, speed, distance Road Rallye. 

For those that are not aware, a Gymkhana is a low speed event in a confined location that involves driving and completing skills-based tasks!

If you have any questions related to the overall competition or specific events please contact Robin Blair (Webmaster@windycitybmw.com)
