So whose going? I just booked mine on Oct. 23rd and get to ride all the AMG cars on track. Exciting!!!

how did you book it, the link says password protected.

i'd love to go do some laps..., do we bring our own cars, or we drive the ones they provide

Swiftler

I got an invitation from my sales rep. at the dealer and MB Canada sent me an email which contains a password. I suggest you ask your sales rep. about this event. Normally only a sales rep. who sold a lot of AMG cars can put 5 names on the list.

Yes, we get to drive all the AMG cars from C 63 to SLS AMG

jobee

ok thanks for the info, i may have deleted the email by accident, i was overseas, and just cam back to Toronto, i'll give him a call tomorrow, since today is a holiday

Roswell

Wow, this event sounds fantastic! I didn't hear anything from my dealership though.

Swiftler

Guys, if your dealership is privately owned (meaning not owned by MB Canada) chances are the sales rep. doesn't have the power to even put your name on the list.

This event is also a good chance to network. Will post videos and bunch of pics at this event.

Here's the run down of the 2 day schedule at this event.

Day 1 (day prior to your track day)
2:00 pm (approx.) - Arrival at Montreal Trudeau Airport followed by immediate transfer to Le Westin Resort & Spa (self drive for local participants). Please note that shuttle service will be provided from the Montreal airport to Mont-Tremblant for guests who will arrive around 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
6:30 pm - Welcome cocktail & event briefing
7:30 pm - Welcome dinner

Day 2
8:00 am - Breakfast meeting
9:00 am - Shuttle to Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant
- Entire day at track
4:00 pm - Transfer to Montreal Trudeau Airport for return flight or self transfer home (As the shuttle to the airport will likely take 2 hours, we recommend booking your return flight any time after 7:00pm)

i thought all of the dealers in Toronto were corperate MB, with the exception of the oakville location and kitchener

Swiftler

True then you are fine. Ask your sales rep. and the manager. This event will only be held for 4 days and that's it.

Mort

Great Track, was just there Oct 4th with the MB Driving Academy. We had a blast.

Swiftler

Any special AMG amenities you can take home?

Mort

Not really AMG. They did have several to drive. They gave us a nice performance driving book that the MB Driving Academy put together. You get to keep your balaclava that has the Mercedes Benz Driving Academy monogram. The dealer gave us a decent MB jacket and a few brochures on MB models and one for the driving academy itself. They also gave us a successful completion Diploma and a USB Drive that looks like a MB Key with lots of pictures that they took . It is a well run program and we all had a lot of fun and learned some things as well. They have a very good feedback program. All in all a fun and worthwhile day at a great track.

The AMG performance tour should be a great opportunity to try out all the AMG product and Circuit Mont Tremblant is a great venue to do it at.

Did they have the new S63 or CL63 with the 5.5 TT???

Swiftler

The S63 with 5.5 TT is not even in Canadian showroom so I doubt it will be at the event. But I guess I'll find out on that date :p

Hey Swiftler, thanks for the heads up. I called my dealer yesterday morning and they booked mt brother and I for Sunday arrival and drive Monday,....there is also another MBworld member from Ottawa booking for Monday (blackc230benzo) who has a 2010 C63 P31, I will also inform another MBworld member from Ottawa and hopefully have a full crew. I did this same tour in Dallas in Nov 08 and we had 18 AMG vehicles for the full day and it was insane, they wined and dined us and put us up in 5star hotels, it was really well done, I just cant wait to throw that SLS around!!

vcruiser

I was going to go with my dad, but a friend is coming from austria that weekend, so he's taking my brother.

They're gonna drive up in the SL65 Black Series

Mort

The MB Driving Academy is more of a performance driving event put on by MB rather than an AMG event. We had 12 people / 12 cars.

The list of cars as I remember:

B200 Turbo
C300
c350
C63 AMG
C63 AMG
E350 4Matic
E63 AMG Sedan
E550 Coupe
SLK350
SLK55 AMG
CLS63 AMG
ML350 BlueTEC 4Matic

Sorry no 5.5TT yet. I am not certain what cars they will have for the AMG Event but a SLS for sure. They have room for 24 people / 12 cars.

Hey Nick. I sent my dealer an email and Vmail Sunday as well as a Call yesterday morning. They have me on some kind of wait list....ARRRUUGGH!?!?!?!?!?

Roswell

I want in... hope they have extra spot at my dealership!! Nick, what's the schedule for Sunday if we get in... what time should we leave Ottawa?

Swiftler

Not a problem 1st amg. There's going to be more event like this so I'll keep the Canadians informed. We are staying at Le Westin Resort & Spa so that is a 5 star hotel. I booked my track day on Sunday and arrive on Saturday.

Who booked the track for Sunday?

Swiftler

Between 2 pm to 4 pm if your flying in and there'll be a shuttle bus to pick you up at the airport. Since you live in Ottawa, just drive up.

I had to booked my track day on Sunday cause I work on Mondays...

Roswell

swiftler, are we allowed to bring a family member? My brother in law just bought a ML350, and he would love to try the ML63 if they have it?

Swiftler

Ya you can but they will be a guest under your name. A guest cost $250 dollars. Yes, they have ML 63

NORTH 44 C63

Thanks Swiftler. We all appreciate the updates. Hope I can get in. The Toronto market seems to have filled their quota already.

Swiftler

You can talk to Eva Cheng about this matter, she's the one in charge of this event. Number sent to your PM. BTW, her voice is sexy...
