First, you hear the start of several engines – six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, the whistling of turbos – as well as the growling of the exhaust systems from a trio of BMW M vehicles in the pit lane. Shortly afterwards, the drivers do battle on the hot asphalt of Slovakia Ring. No, this isn’t a heady fever dream – this was the backdrop of the BMW M Drive Tour 2018.
Once again, the BMW M Drive Tour took place on Slovakia Ring in the south-west of Slovakia. The almost six-kilometer race track boasts multiple top-speed straights, seven challenging corners and a nerve-racking chicane, and offered participants the best conditions for the motorsport experience of their lives. From the BMW M2 to the new BMW M5 to M Performance models such as the BMW X3 M40i, the entire BMW M fleet was ready for adrenaline-charged test rides on the racing circuit. In addition to this, the wet drift track offered maximum drifting fun without compromise. For each driving activity, the drivers were assisted by professional instructors who offered tips and tricks from the sideline. The M-certified instructors supported the guests with a wealth of background knowledge to aid steering, acceleration and braking.
Motorsport at your fingertips – this was what stood out from the BMW M Drive Tour 2018 at Slovakia Ring.
In various workshops, the participants could also witness expert discussions on the technical features and special designs of each M vehicle. Those who got a taste for a completely individually designed BMW M could even look forward to detailed insights into the world of BMW Individual at the vehicle exhibition.
