I just came across this thread. I attended both the event last year in Arcadia/Pasadena and the one in San Diego last weekend. Indeed the one last year was of a much larger scale, and i enjoyed the autocross since the laps were timed (I won my session and they said I had the fastest time of the event and I was on the 2nd to last day on the 2nd weekend
). However, the one in SD, albeit much smaller scale, gave a lot more seat time. I recall maybe 4 laps total for the one last year - a standing start, one flying lap, stop. Then repeat that later.
At the event in SD there were 5+ laps in each car - the same M340i as last year, and the new 2 series gran coupe xdrive. More laps and trying two different cars was a nice touch. I didn't get a chance to do the test drives in SD, but it didnt seem they had the full suite of cars.
I am also signed up for the one in Anaheim in two days, which i think will fall somewhere in the middle of those two in terms of scale. Overall good events for the price of FREE.
