Extra planning and provisions were readied to make customers as comfortable as possible, including two fire pits, hot chocolate and tent sides to prevent wind from chilling Braman's trackside lounge. But that didn't stop race enthusiasts from hitting the track and pushing their cars to the limit with Audi, BMW, MINI and Porsche cars dominating the scene.

October Track Event As Exciting As Ever
Last event on PBIR Road Course enjoyed by all
By 5pm on Saturday, a selection of Audi, BMW, Mini and Porsche
owners had signed up and were anxiously awaiting the beginning
of the drivers meeting at Braman's Porsche Challenge track
event at Palm Beach International Raceway.
After a brief classroom instruction on safety, course layout,
flags, and performance and driving tips by PBIR's Chris Festa, cars began lining up for a night filled with fast driving and great conversation.
The drivers were placed in four groups separated by
horsepower and driver skill. Then, each group took turns on the course for12 minute intervals where fast driving was the rallying cry.
While waiting to get on the track and for the comfort of
spectators, the Braman Lounge supplied relaxing chairs,
a live-cam feed of the track action and refreshments.
Also that night, the Porsche Panamera made its track debut as
Braman organized Porsche to dispatch three Panamera's with professional Porsche driving instructors for the event.
"This event was a perfect venue to have our customers feel theimpressive capabilities of the Panamera" state Michael Trapasso, Porsche's General Sales Manager. "There is no doubt that the Panamera is a true Porsche, sort of a big 911 that lives up to Porsche's marketing statement; Four, uncompromised" Trapasso concluded.
In addition to the Panamera attraction, the Radical race car was rolled out for pro drivers Freddy Rhemrev and Chris Festa to give participants the ride of their life in.
A gourmet dinner was served during halftime and more driving continued through the closing of the track at10pm.
Our next event is on November 22nd and will be on the 1 mile-10 turn Kart track. This track is very good to improve your braking and turning skills. It will also be a timed event called the MINI Grand Prix.

April 18th 2009 Grand Prix
This Sunday is the Braman MINI Grand Prix
Here's a recap of this past November's GP...
The
day began with a classroom drivers meeting that familiarized drivers
with the track layout and followed immediately by side-by-side racing in
go carts to take the edge off and gain track experience.
Then, it was in your car for continuous laps around Palm Beach International Raceways competitive Kart track where drivers competed to better their own times and compare them with others.
Timing was achieved through transponders tied to the front of each car that can time speeds within 1/1000 of a second on each lap. Drivers were able to hone their skills by getting drivers tips from instructors and their colleagues.
Don Resnick's MINI Cooper (2nd) and Damon
Galmin's BMW 1-Series (3rd)
In the end, the top 5 finishes were Don Westerdale in a MINI JCW (1:02.091), Harold Frischman in a Porsche Boxster (1:01.086). Damon Galmin took third (1:00.788) and was nudged out by a mere 11/1000 of a second by Don Resnick who took 2nd with a time of (1:00.777). Andrew Faigan clipped Resnicks's time by less than a quarter-second to take first with a time of (1:00.572).
Then it was back to the go carts to round out a great day of racing fun. Join us on Sunday, December 13th at PBIR's road course for our next driving event.

| The weather was cool and crisp. The Braman Audi, BMW, MINI and Porsche Clan were out in full force. Braman's February Track Event provided drivers with hours of driving fun on Palm Beach International Raceway's 2-mile Road Course. Extra lighting was brought in to enhance PBIR's superb lighting system, so drivers had excellent visibility around curves.

Freddy Rhemrev, Chris Festa and Adam Ricardel fielded questions and answers and provided hands on driving instruction during the event. A great dinner was had by all when the track went cold for the dinner break and resumed again through 10pm. Join us for the next Braman Track Event on March 14th at PBIR.
