Updated Pics - My Drive in SLS GT3
Guys,
For those interested here are some updated pics of my recent time in the SLS GT3 as per threads here
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...e-sls-gt3.html

Pics of seat and control adjustment before heading out
Sorry for pic overload and boring if I do so, but some members PM'd me asking me to post pics when AMG sent them to me. With more seat time in the car in September, I will post reviews pics and vids if you guys want.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Thanks for sharing. I know this was an experience to remember forever. I know I would never forget if I could've just sat in the GT3; and you were able to put in some lap times. Fantastic!!

they used fans to cool the rotors and calipers and a large blower unit that mates to the front air intake to keep airflow into the engine bay to keep things cool when the car is the in pits.

(speaking for myself of course)This event and a whole program have been developed by the AMG Academy here in Europe. You can see it here information on program here http://www.mercedes-amg.com/driving-...ntro&top=intro To do the GT3 events you need to have done some AMG training at Advanced level or above or other courses from the likes of Audi, Porsche, BMW. But at the end of the day as long as you have done this then you can register. Info as above
