I'm going on the 19th at noon. They did the invites different this year. Last year anyone could sign up and seemed to have more open spots. I registered late and got stuck with a weekday.
Nope, I didn't get a confirmation email either. Should be fun again this year! |

I went last October. Good experience. Had some nice cars to drive and some vintage ones on display too. Took advantage of the 1k on a city car.

Shorter, smaller and not timed? Yikes! What cars did you drive and how many laps did you get to take. Did they have any other side events like M classes? Definitely seems like they cut the budget based on how they sent out the invites.
I just went to the Jaguars Art of Performance event over the weekend and my wife and I were taking about how we liked the UDE so much better because it was more performance oriented and fun. The Jaguar event was definitely flashier but only included a test drive of the new XE and three laps around a small autocross. |

2 laps per car, no instruction and no timing. i did like the variety of cars and driving them back to back. I asked why it was some much smaller and they said this one is run by the local dealers, the one last Oct was part of BMWNA 's national UDE program.
