A few weeks ago, the BMW Performance Driving School Team of Mike Renner and Steve Maguire won their class in the 2016 Tire Rack Brock Yates One Lap of America in a BMW M2 sponsored by BMW M Performance Parts and IHG Rewards Club. Not only did they win the Stock Touring and SSGT1- Small Bore Classes, they also finished 10th overall in a stock car!
One of the many stops along the One Lap of America was the all-new National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This new 184-acre, $20 million park features two circuits, “East” and “West” which can be combined into multiple configurations ranging from a high speed loop of 1.96-miles to an extended 3.15-mile technical course.
The BMW Performance Center’s Mike Renner had two sessions during their stop at the National Corvette Museum, and in the morning session he was able to run a 7:17.644 to put him first in class and 14th overall out of 69 entrants.

The already track capable BMW M2 had been further enhanced for One Lap duty with BMW M Performance Accessories, including carbon-fiber front and rear spoilers, carbon-fiber rear diffuser, M Performance coil-over suspension, and sport exhaust system. This setup allowed them to beat such cars as a 2016 Porsche Cayman, a 2010 Audi R8, and multiple Corvettes on their home track!
