What to Expect

O’Fast is more than just a gathering – it’s a national tradition. Here’s a taste of what’s coming:

• High-performance driving at Road America – yes, you can race your car on the track!
• Social events, scenic drives, and tech talks

All set against the stunning backdrop of The Osthoff Resort, the official host hotel in charming Elkhart Lake, WI.

Write Your Name into Track-Day History

Imagine it: the rumble of your BMW echoing through the trees, the green flag waving you onto the legendary Road America circuit – not as a spectator, not in someone else’s car, but in yours. This isn’t a track tour. This is the real deal.

At O’Fast 2025, BMW CCA members have the rare, exhilarating opportunity to drive their own cars on one of the most iconic road courses in North America. From the famed Canada Corner to Thunder Valley, every straightaway and sweeping turn becomes part of your story, etched into the brake dust and soul of your machine.

Registration is open now!

O’Fast 2025 officially kicks off on Wednesday, October 8, with registration and vendor setup at the hotel starting in the early afternoon. We’ll take a quick lunch break, fuel up (literally and figuratively), and then get the party rolling. Mark your calendar now – we’ll see you this fall in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin!

Autocross
8:30 AM-4:00 PM
Road America

Autocross events are an all-forward motion-driving-skill contest. Each driver is individually timed to the thousandth of a second, over a short, miniature road-course clearly defined using traffic cones. Cars compete one at a time, in a class with similar cars. An event can be held on any flat paved surface, usually a parking lot, or airport apron or runway.

Autocross emphasizes driver skill and vehicle handling rather than just speed. The corners are tight, and there are lots of them, so the driving is exciting and challenging. Autocross speeds do not exceed those normally encountered in highway driving. The skills you learn and practice here; smooth transitions, enhanced braking, and skid correction, will have an immediate impact on improving the safety and skill of your street driving. Autocross is an excellent way to teach car-control to young drivers in a safe environment. A day of autocrossing is far safer for both car and driver than most people’s daily commute to work.

Autocross is also a very social sport, filled with some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. The camaraderie of the drivers is a special part of autocrossing that is profoundly satisfying.

Car Control Clinic
9:00 AM-11:30 AM
Road America

A Car Control Clinic is a non-competitive event intended to allow drivers to experience the attributes of car control at and beyond the limit, in a safe and controlled environment. The Clinic will help you improve your driving skills while learning about car dynamics. The Clinics dual purpose is to prepare students for our high-performance driving schools plus teach skills useful in everyday driving situations. The school is held in a large parking lot, using plastic cones, to provide a safe learning environment for these low-to-moderate-speed maneuvers.

Following a classroom session, students demonstrate techniques such as braking while turning, inducing rotation, countering oversteer, and other techniques by navigating through a challenging course. The goal is to remove misconceptions, and promote confidence and understanding of what the car and driver are capable of accomplishing, as well as understanding and respect for the limits of car control.

Although this is not a racing school, you will learn to drive your car better at its limits, and increase your ability to brake, corner, and accelerate quickly and precisely without losing control of your car skills that can be life-saving in an emergency. We emphasize skills and knowledge to make better drivers on the course, and on the road.
