Spending time to have fun with M car is not "wasting money" IMO

Please explain what the control clinic is and how you found out or heard about it. Plus when is it.

Make sure you do the car control clinic first otherwise you will be disappointed. There will be some overlap between the two but in the 1 day M school will build on what you learned in the car ctrl clinic and be able to take it to another level on a track (vs parking lot) and, make you come back begging for more (in a good way). As said above well worth the $.

There is no real description on the website for what M car control clinic entails. My assumption is that it is similar to the BMW car club advanced driving skills course, which does not employ high speeds.

M school is probably the preferred, but I'm sure the control clinic will be fun as well.
