What We Do

The National Capital Chapter operates two types of driving schools: High Performance Drivers’ Education and Tire Rack Street Survival. While the methods of instruction and the target audience for these schools differ, they share a common goal giving you the opportunity to develop and improve your skills as a driver and to strengthen your knowledge of your car’s abilities, so that you will be prepared for any situation you may encounter on the highway.

Our schools are not racing schools. Our focus is on skills, not speed, and our overriding concern is with your safety and that of your car. We select our school instructors very carefully, not simply for their technical knowledge and accomplishments as drivers, but also for their abilities to impart that knowledge to their students in a clear, concise, and professional manner.

Your BMW is an amazingly capable car. At a National Capital Chapter HPDE, you will be able to realize your car’s capabilities, learn the limits of those capabilities under controlled conditions, and practice the skills needed to control your car safely within those limits.
