The M Driver Program may be great for her.

As an aside, having a day to spend in the car with my son was gold for so many reasons. Once we were able to do HPDE, the novice instruction was lead-follow only, and the day he had with me in the car created enough of a foundation for him to make the most of an otherwise suboptimal experience.
How fitting. For my son's university grad present, I took him to Thermal for the 1-day M track day. Shortly after, he got a job at one of or BMW dealerships as Product Genius/Delivery Specialist for 3 year. During that time, I picked up 2 different M2's via ED. The first time I took my wife, then 2nd time I took my son. They were experiences like no other and my time with my son driving through the Alps forever ingrained in my mind. My only regret was that with my son along, he drove >60% of seat time.
