BMW328ix, AMG C43
Got the car in December 30th, registered online, no voucher/letter/etc. needed.

Got a confirmation, everything is ok. See you on June 24 at COTA.

Indeed the C43 either purchased or leased is included. I got my notice in the mail yesterday and registered for the training in August in CT. Registered online and you do need the vin number.

Trying to decide between Circuit of the Americas and Lime Rock Park for the Basic course. Their schedules work best for me. Does anyone have a preference or tips on how to choose a track?

I am going to Lime Rock since it is closer to where I live in the summertime so I can drive there. The track is short but I believe the training will be excellent for the first time at this. If I could afford the time and extra expense I may have opted for one of the longer tracks but not knowing anything about how they do this I thought Lime Rock would be good for my first time.

It's really a bummer that this didn't apply to the C450 buyers who started this whole X43 trend..

at least we get access to the AMG site, but getting even a discount on a track day would have been a nice perk.

I'm registered for Lime Rock, Aug 23rd. Since Lime Rock is a small track, they will use the entire track. COTA is a very large and fast track, I highly doubt they will use the entire track, most likely a section of it. I believe it's follow the lead setup, similar to BMW Track Days. They divided everyone based on experience into 3 groups. An instructors leads a group of 3-4 cars for a handful of laps, after each lap on the straightaway, the car directly behind the instructor's car moves over and drops to the end of the group. This allows each driver to be directly behind the instructor.

I made a quick summary of my M experience
