Free 2011 AMG Driving Academy Basic Training for New AMG Purchase
Just got an email from amgacademy.com. Too bad I purchased my c63 3 months ago. ![hammer](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bonk.gif)
New AMG Purchase Rewards Program.
Purchasing or leasing a new Mercedes-AMG vehicle just got racier with the addition of a complimentary AMG Driving Academy session for owners to personally experience the excitement of motorsports and the track capabilities of Mercedes-AMG high-performance luxury vehicles.
The new owner benefit for customers purchasing or leasing a new AMG vehicle in the U.S. as of December 31, 2010, encompasses an intense one-day track program that focuses on performance driving dynamics. Under the guidance of top professional instructors, the AMG Driving Academy teaches the fundamentals of car control maneuvers using customized exercises, and progresses to a set of high-speed exercises that make use of the entire track.
The complimentary AMG Driving Academy owner benefit applies only to the Basic program, is non-transferable, and is valid for one year after the purchaser takes ownership of a new AMG vehicle as of December 31, 2010. All AMG vehicles used throughout the program are provided by the AMG Driving Academy.

Hi,
Unfortunately the Purchase Rewards program is for anyone purchasing a new AMG on or after 12/31/10, or taking delivery of it after that date.
Otherwise we would love to have you participate in the program. It would be great to see you at one of the programs at either Road Atlanta, Lime Rock Park (CT), or Laguna Seca Raceway (CA) this coming year. Note: The dates for Laguna Seca are still being finalized and will be available within a within a about a month.
We offer three distinct programs this year - 1) Basic ($1,595), 2) Advanced ($2,995), and 3) Pro ($3,695) - that will be conducted at Laguna Seca Raceway (CA), Road Atlanta (GA), and Lime Rock Park (CT) (Lodging is not included in the cost). In addition to the information regarding the programs and the schedule that is located on the website (www.AMGAcademy.com), is there anything specific that I can provide you with information on?
You can contact an Academy advisor at 800-217-6916 and they will provide you with additional information and can sign you up for anyone of the dates. We look forward to seeing you at a future event. Thanks and if you have any additional questions after you have spoken with the advisor please let us know.

thanks for posting this info guys--I just gave myself an early Xmas present, but I can't redeem it until May!
I just booked my "basic training" for May 13( the PL date) at Lime Rock--I'm in New England so this is the closest track for me.
The lady told me that the SLS is included in the Basic course along with the C63, E63, Sl63, SLK55 and the SLS.
Really nice lady and she gave me the play by play for the day and it's an all day affair from 7:30am to 5:30pm.
I'm so pumped that I got the dicounted price for the PL date too![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thanks again guys--some of you New England/TriState guys should go on that date!

Sounds like a good time. The aspect of the advanced/pro level is that they tend to push a little harder on the guided laps which allows you to experience the car in different circumstances.

yeah, she didn't mention the CLKBS which is too bad, but I guess they're using the SLS for the replacement--maybe we'll get lucky and they'll take a CLKBS out of the mothballs for us![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)
thanks again for the info Dave.
