Just did Basic at Laguna Seca in October. Highly recommend, regardless of the track. I want to try out the drift experience next time around

Did you guys get a confirmation email that everything went through? Last I heard, they were checking my purchase reward with the dealer but I haven't head anything since (it's been 3 weeks).

You can email the AMG Academy directly for confirmation, but I didn't hear anything until a confirmation email two weeks before my date.

Correct, they will email you a couple of weeks before the event. I did Limerock last Aug, we drove really cool cars, including the AMG-GTR and E63S. They had professional photographers that take pics of each event, including cams in the GTS to record your session.

Just got confirmation email.
“Approximately 30 days from your arrival at the event, you will receive an information packet containing curriculum materials, important details on vehicle dynamics and an overview of the exciting track where you will practice behind the wheel.”

Things change.
