I am waiting for the COTA sign up to open. My boss was there last year and said it was a blast.

Do the 2 day if you can. You get much more track time (1 more day!). 2nd day is mostly spent on the track with a skid pad session and autocross timed event.

Typically they open up a month in a half in advanced. The first day (Tuesday) usually is the full day and fills up the fastest. I'm signed up for Sonoma next month just for the hell of it!
I've done the 2-day M school at Thermal in 2020 and Laguna Seca Full M track day last year. I've been doing HPDEs since 2012 and still enjoyed the days for a few reasons. 1. limited instruction, but track time in not your car! The instructors will pick up the pace if they see you have experience on the track. At Laguna Seca, there was two student cars per instructor car doing lead follows. I would say the pace of the instructor was in the 1:50 range. Not overly fast, but not terribly slow either. YMMV on this one. During the M School event, I ended up having an M4 CEL and the cluster lit like a christmas tree. I pitted and the tech gave me a new M4 to go on my way. That's just awesome haha. 2. Good way to test out a new track you never been to before. I would like to try COTA one day and this sounds like a cool way to do it. Fly to Austin, try this out, and enjoy Austin for the week/weekend. 3. Good way to test out the new BMW M cars if you never driven them. I never driven G80s prior to Laguna and it was cool to see it on my home turf. F90 was a hoot too. 4. If you are comparing the price to a regular HPDE, you need to factor in track insurance (if you buy that), gas, brakes, tires costs (even if it is fractions of total cost) and it could come out very close. It's nice to do an arrive and drive. I enjoy these as a way to see local tracks with the newest M models. The 2-day M school is fun and I look forward to signing up for the Advanced M school 2day in the future and probably the GT4 one too.

It's not open yet.
COTA is July 7th-11th. I would start checking last week of May when they open up if not earlier. My guess is probably 5/27, 5/30 (memorial day tho) or 5/31. The email blast they send usually is later than when it opens and the full day is full by the time you get that email.

I wanna sign up for the May 10-15th at Sonoma. I'm having a little outpatient surgery on the 9th and not sure I'll feel up to it.
I still haven't heard anything about my M Drivers Package track day. Not sure what I need from the dealer. Can I use this day, in lieu of paying? I don't mind paying, and I'd much rather use their cars and their tires.
