By popular demand we have locked in another SDT (Safe Drive Training) Driver Training Day at Morgan Park on Thursday April 4, 2024. The last few events sold out quickly and have been thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees, so register soon so you don't miss out. Loads of track time, excellent instructors, and a friendly relaxed atmosphere. It's a great opportunity for first timers to experience their cars on a track in safe & fun way, or for more experienced drivers to hone their skills. Check out these two videos to learn more about SDT and what you’ll experience on the day.

** Registering for this event
Please register in two (2) places:
(Please note - These events are limited to a total of 24 vehicles and open to the public. BMW Club will monitor the registrations with SDT and update as necessary. It is advisable to register quickly to ensure you do not miss out on a spot.)
1. Enrolments are done online via this link
https://www.sdt.com.au/sports-driver-training-enrolment.html
Please note: This form does not work with Android O/S.
When the user clicks SUBMIT, their email program then opens, and they need to send us the email. A screenshot or snip of the form can be emailed to us at info@sdt.com.au
2. Once you are registered and have made payment to SDT, please click Register in this event via the BMW app or website, so we know you are coming.
Once you have registered with SDT they will email you videos to watch approximately a week out from the event. These videos form 90% of the driver briefing to save time on the day. They are full of helpful information and funny bits to keep them entertaining. You will also receive information on tyre pressure, the track circuits they'll run on the day and the itinerary for the day. That will all come from SDT but I'm here to help with questions, just reach out!
** Price
We have a group booking discount of $330 for a full day (very small increase due to track hire cost increasing). Please make payment direct to SDT.
** What you must have and need:
1. CTP Rally Extension for road registered cars - call your CTP insurer and ask for a Rally Extension. Some insurers charge $10. They'll ask you what the name, date & location of the event is, and this will be "SDT - Safe Drive Training - Sports Driver Training", location, Morgan Park Raceway. They will then email the Rally Extension to you.
2. Australian Standard Helmet.
3. Full length clothing covering from neck to ankle to wrist. It is a good idea to layer up in case you get hot when not on the track.
4. Enclosed footwear.
5. Gloves (optional).
6. Food and drink. Last time the canteen was not open, but town is only about a 10-minute drive if you want to pop out and grab something.
7. Hat, sunscreen, umbrella and all the good things to keep you from getting sunburnt.
8. Chairs and anything else to make your pit time more comfortable.
9. In car timers etc. Times are not recorded on the day; however, you can keep track of your times via in car methods. App’s such as TrackAddict are great as well to download to your phone. I can help you on the day with setting this up if you would like.
10. GoPro type cameras mounted to the outside of vehicles must have a secondary tether to a separate part of the car.
** One the day
Please meet at the track after you have filled up, grabbed coffee and some breakfast. We'll be allocated pit bays on arrival. Times and itinerary for the day will be emailed out from SDT closer to April 4. Please use any of the lower-level pit bays that are available.
** Accommodation
The lovely Coachman’s Inn is our chosen hotel. They have a pool and restaurant onsite which will be fabulous after a hot day at the track! Please call the hotel direct to book as they will match any online price.
Coachman’s Inn – bookings
Another hotel you may like to try, which is across the road from the Coachman's Inn, is Buckaroo. Again, call them direct for the best price.
Warwick Accommodation | Buckaroo Motor Inn
** Dinner Thursday April 4 at 6.30pm
The perfect finish to a great day at the track is dinner at Rupert's Bar and Grill (located at The Coachman's Inn). Lovely intimate dining experience with one of the best steaks in Warwick and a lovely wine selection.
Best Warwick Restaurant | Rupert’s Bar and Grill | Coachman's Inn (coachmans.com.au)
If people arrive early on Wednesday afternoon & there is enough interest, we will organise to meet for dinner. Likewise on the Friday morning there are usually a few people who stop in at Warwick’s Garden Galore for breakfast before heading home, everyone is welcome to join.
It will be a great couple of days to be enjoyed by not just the drivers but family and friends also as spectators/supporters.
