    Team O’Neil Rally School, widely considered one of the top loose surface driving schools in the world, is offering BMW Car Club of America members discounts of up to 35% off courses for a very limited time. This is a chance to visit the facility Road & Track calls “The finest rally school in the country” at a substantial discount.

    Any driver who is interested in driving near the limits of grip needs to have a solid understanding of vehicle dynamics and racing theory, correct judgement and sharp decision making skills, along with instinctive inputs and responses to be able to handle complex situations as they arise on the street and track. 

    Over the past twenty years, Team O’Neil Rally School has developed one of the world’s premier car control courses, a calculated, building block system designed to give drivers the confidence to drive on the edge, the intuition to recognize potential problems in real time, and the muscle memory to adjust and correct for skids on the fly.  “Deliberate, focused, real-world training is the only way to master the five types of skids, as well as performance driving basics such as lines and apexes, eye placement, the five types of braking, accident avoidance, and left foot braking,” says Wyatt Knox, special projects director, and one of several rally champion instructors on staff.
     
    5 time North American Rally Champion Tim O’Neil hand built over ten miles of corners, crests, junctions (and even a few small straightaways) on 600 privately owned acres in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in order to create the only all-dirt, purpose built rally school in North America. 
     
    The Team O’Neil program has been used by professional drivers of all disciplines ranging from current rally and off-road racing champions, to autocross, road racing, and even NASCAR in order to help them reach the next level.  Whether you are a professional driver or just an average Joe (or Jane), the carefully crafted courses at this facility will teach you the skills you need to succeed in any driving situation or at least give you a few days of total driving nirvana. As Jalopnik.com said “Team O’Neil is probably the best damn driving school on the planet…it’s also fun as hell!”
