Proudly Presents
Join us for quattroberfest 2021 our premier High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) event October 8 - 10, 2021 at Brainerd International Raceway (BIR) on the Donnybrook Course.
quattroberfest offers HPDE instruction for novice, intermediate and advanced driver classes on Saturday and Sunday. Our advanced drivers also have the option of participating in a Lapping Day on Friday.
We reviewed feedback from quattroberfest 2019 and made a few adjustments for 2021. We are returning to the popular Donnybrook course (long course) [Click here for Road Course Map]. Saturday morning in-car exercises will be hosted in the historical locations which allow participants more repetition and less down time during those segments. We’ve kept the popular lapping day, and will once again have access to garage stalls for those who like that rental option.
Guest speaker Andrew Rains will be joining us for quattroberfest 2021! Andrew is a co-founder of APEX Pro, a company whose mission is to add value to customers by making motorsport data acquisition enjoyable, accessible, and social. Andrew has been racing for a decade, most notably winning a SCCA Club Racing Championship, and running for three years in the Pirelli World Challenge Championship in the Touring Car class. As a private coach and an instructor for the Porsche Track Experience at Barber Motorsports Park, Andrew invests tons of time into helping drivers understand how to get the most out of the car on track. Andrew will be participating in driver discussion sessions about data analysis and other topics. He will also partner with our instructors in their ongoing development.
