Applicants are assessed on their driving skills by some of New Zealand’s top driving instructors as well as their conduct off the track, by BMW Race Series competitors. The winner gets to compete in a full season of the Dunlop E30 Championship.

The Day is structured with a morning session where a race instructor observes 1 out lap, 1 racing lap, and 1 in-lap. This will determine the top 10.
All applicants are taken a tour of the race control room, a technical session on the BMW 320i vehicle and hot laps from other BMW Race series competitors.

The top 3 applicants will receive a presentation and the Scholarship winner is announced.

The Scholarship day is Saturday 15th August 2020 at the Hampton Downs Motorsport Park National Circuit. The cost to enter is $350, more information about the event can be found on the BMW series website http://www.bmwraceseries.co.nz/e30-scholarship-car/ or by contacting e30scholarship@gmail.com
