Track Experience
After having a great experience at the AMG Driving Academy at Lime Rock, CT, I was inspired to take my AMG GT on the track. I have gone to Autobahn Country Club in Illinois and Road America in Wisconsin. Both were great experiences and bring a whole new dimension to driving. I learned a lot in the classroom and on the track. I can see how this can be an expensive hobby over time due to the wear and tear on tires and brakes. That said, I may have gotten the bug!

Yet to take the GTC to the big track but did do autocross with it and was shocked at how stuck to the road it was. On the other hand I did take the 16 Maybach to the big track and was also pleasantly surprised how you can drive a 5300 pound car like a sports car with the push of a button to sport mode.
With all that said if I was seriously going to get into racing I think I would buy a go cart and race it. The shiftier carts are VERY fast and offer handling performance that is similar to an F1 car. Best part is they fit in the back of my van and cost very little.......
