Top-notch experience led by instructors Chris and Derek for the M Driver's Program. There are a…read morelitany of valuable skills taught that will not only make you faster around the racetrack, but could save your life on real-world roads. I'd recommend it for anyone south of an intermediate level track driver. For these folks, more advanced courses are available, and I have full faith they'd be excellent as well. Itinerary: -1h classroom safety/racing fundamentals (lots of good info for the road, too) -Emergency mid-corner braking from highway speeds--M4 xdrive -Last-minute lane change, followed by emergency braking, from highway speeds--M2 -Skidpad (controlled initiation and recovery of oversteer/drifting)--M5 sedan -Lead/follow track laps at The Thermal Club raceway (real race track, adjacent to BMW's lower-speed "training oriented" facility) -Lunch (really a highlight. 2 salads, chicken breast, homemade meatballs. Better than many restaurant meals I had in the area.) -Timed autocross laps on BMW's own smaller track (little competition among the participants)--M2 -More lead/follow laps at The Thermal Club--M4 xdrive After experiencing the wear and tear these cars are put through in such a short time, I think the cost of admission is quite subsidized as well. Would definitely go back for further classes.

I did 1 day M school here and I enjoyed it but it's important to know why you're going. The…read moreinstructors were top notch but in the end it still felt more like an interactive BMW advertisement than a learning experience. You bounce around between models and events with barely enough time to really learn much. The competitive nature makes it difficult to stay focused on skills resulting in sloppiness. There's enough students that a lot of mistakes go uncorrected. Fortunately, I went into it with the goal of driving fast in a safe environment and someone else's car and maybe get a few general pointers. In that regards, it was a resounding success. I did feel like there was ample time for at least another 5 minutes on the drift track Some things that I wish their FAQ was clearer about: - There is a cafeteria and there is a very good lunch provided - If you're prone to motion sickness, be prepared. I brought along ginger chews and ended up giving out quite a few to others who were intending to drop out early otherwise. - Theres lots of breaks for water and restroom and you'll need them - Theres lots of good hotel prices in Indio and the drive is short I would consider doing some personalized instructions but otherwise, my conclusion is that racing career isn't in my future. Still, props to the staff.

I signed my daughter up for Maywood Driving school so she could get more time and experience behind…read morethe wheel. Our schedules could not do it. I spoke with Raquel who was very attentive to my questions and our needs. She was also very friendly over the phone. We signed up for 3 days back to back, 2 hours a day. What I like about Maywood is that they pick up and drop off the student at home. That gives you the opportunity to ask questions right then and there. They also spend one on one quality time with the student. I know of other schools that have multiple learners in one car. Sal was my daughter's teacher. One thing for me is my loyalty to a company comes from the treatment I receive from employees. The treatment by Maywood Driving School has been excellent since day one of communicating our needs, scheduling the appointments and taking my daughter out to drive. I have confidence in knowing she has been taught by some of the best people in the business. I would recommend Maywood Driving School for your child's driving needs. My daughter was comfortable behind the wheel. And that's what's needed on these streets.... UPDATE: She passed the driving test and got her license!
