AMG driving academy
Any thoughts or feedback on this?
I'm thinking of doing it. I understand they've made some improvements over the old AMG challenge events...

Right on DW! I'm trying to convince a couple other buddies. I wish they had some previous training so we could do the 2 day stage 2 program but alas only I've had the SCCBC drivers training in the past. Hopefully they give some good track time in the SLS!

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
The AMG Challenge was a fun event but this year in Florida they will be using the road course in West Palm Beach International raceway instead of the one in Homestead. I haven't driven the West Palm Beach one since they changed it but I don't think it's as good as Homestead. In addition to that they upped the price to $1800 from $1200 !!!
I was thinking to do it for 1200 but now I have second thoughts.

Maybe the price increase is a result of the added costs due to the cars that were crashed at the Challenge last year?

Do you know if they still have the IWC watch as trophy, I heart that they didn't have it last year.
