Participants will spend two days, Nov. 7-8, 2016, at the scenic and challenging Virginia International Raceway driving current BMW M models under the personal instruction of legendary BMW drivers Brian Redman, Boris Said, Bill Auberlen and professional BMW Performance Driving School instructors. Hot lap rides in the famous 1975 12 Hours of Sebring winning #25 3.0 CSL and in the 2011 ALMS winning E92 M3 GT, which took 7 podium finishes in its first 10 races, will round out the experience. Brian Redman, a member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame, is a successful sportscar racer with multiple U.S. championships, including the 1974, 1975 and 1976 Formula 5000 Championships.  Redman’s International wins include the 1970 Targa Florio and Spa-Francorchamps 1000km in 1968-1970 and 1972. Redman’s most well-known win for BMW came at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1975 at the wheel of the same #25 BMW CSL which he will be piloting in the BMW Legends of VIR Program. Boris Said was the first and only American driver to win the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Said joined BMW Prototype Technology Group race team for the 1995 season racing in the 24 Hours of Daytona. Said raced with BMW PTG during the 1996 – 2001, 2004-2005 seasons and with BMW Turner Racing during the 2010 – 2013 ALMS seasons and during the 2015 Tudor Sports Car Challenge season. Bill Auberlen has more BMW races under his belt than any other driver in history.  Auberlen is second among all North American endurance sports car racing wins with 53.
