8 May 1998

Derek Daly
LAS VEGAS, NV: The Derek Daly Performance Driving Academy (DDA) announced today the arrival of a fleet of BMW Z3 Roadsters for use in their High Performance Driving Programs and as a supplement to the already existing Formula Car Courses. Plans call for all High Performance Driving Programs to be on line by July 1st. The Derek Daly Academy opened in November 1996 and runs its courses on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Road Course Facilities.

"This is an extremely exciting and fast-paced time for us," commented Academy owner Derek Daly. "We're implementing new and expanded High Performance Programs with the Z3, one of the most exciting and recognizable sports cars on the street today. Our Z3 Roadsters undoubtedly give us the edge over all other training programs available."

Academy Chief Instructor Bob Earl, who is a 20-year veteran of High Performance instruction, will set the exact curriculum for the Z3 courses over the next month. Initial Z3 programs will include the 2-Day GT Performance Class and the 1-Day Car Control Clinic. In addition, DDA will phase out its 3-Day Formula Car Course in favor of the 4-Day Class, which will also incorporate the Z3s.
