What else can we say but thank you. Thank you for coming and making every single part of the Nationals so special. From the welcome night to the farewell breakfast, every event was at capacity and even a little rain on the main day at Calder Park didn't dampen the enthusiasm and stop everyone turning up. It was a fantastic weekend of all things BMW and certainly the best Nationals I have been to. Congratulations to all the Sprint and Show and Shine winners. Thank you to all of the sponsors that helped make the event possible and affordable. Especially thank you to all the DCM members and VFT or MA Officials that came in their droves to help us run the day at Calder, you are amazing and we couldn't do it without you all. Thank you to BMW Australia for their support and contribution and for the AMAZING M3 Competition Touring for our course car. What an awesome car to drive! We will post up the winners of the Sprint and Show and Shine events shortly and add photos to the gallery so you can see what you missed if you didn't come. The next BMW Car Club Nationals will be hosted by BMW Drivers Club NSW in the Bathurst Region in March 2027 so look out for details of that as it is released.
