BMW Ultimate Driving Experience with MPISCC Recap by Chrissy Thompson
  
An open track filled with brand new BMWs sits in Thermal, California, just outside of Palm Springs where 16 MPISCC chapter members recently gathered in person to network and test their skills behind the wheel. Attendees were able to experience the BMW Performance Center West firsthand and see how corporate groups are able to utilize the venue. For most attendees, it was their first time being back to an in-person event, adding to their excitement (beyond learning to race luxury sports cars!).
