Went to the track with my 2012 estate :)

In the last few months i've met a few people with the same passion for cars that i suffer from. These guys arrange track days so i figured i'd join them.
The track is in Finland, called Alastaro circuit. It's about 3 km long so not that much but it was a lot of fun The track was wet which of course made it a bit more challenging, but there were a lot of nice cars there. 2 GT3 RS, 1 GT-R, 2 ferrari 360 modenas, many many more porsches...i was the only representative for MB. Anyway, here is the in-car video. Bear in mind that this was my first time ever on a track so don't bash my driving

Looks like you had a couple of slides that you controlled well. You look pretty comfortable given it is your first time out.

Nothing special, just had the car in s+ mode as i found it better suited for track use than the paddles.

Great driving, vid, and sound. If that was my first time and it was wet, I wouldn't have had the ***** to go that fast.

This is some good stuff.

Thanks for sharing! And glad you're enjoying your wagon. (I wish we had the C63 AMG Wagon in the US. We get the E63, so that's at least something.)

I don't understand why they don't bring it there. But at least the e63 wagon handles better than the sedan. I wonder if the same goes for the c wagon.....

The estate exhaust must sound even louder inside, since you don't have a wall blocking the boot area like in the saloon. To get this sound I usually have to fold the rear seats down!

Very nice video! Thank you for sharing!

The estate does sound more inside compared to the sedan, but this was taken via a microphone just above the exhaust tips.
