Free AMG Driving Academy with new lease/purchase?

For those who have recently taken delivery, is MB still giving away a free day at the driving academy?

My car is scheduled to dock at the port next week and I want to make sure the dealership doesn't play anymore games with me.

Thanks

Yes
Yep, still on. Your dealer has nothing to do with it, I wouldn't even mention it to them.

I redeemed mine last week at Lime Rock. Great experience. Especially for free! Don't mention it to others once you're there since chances are they paid for it because this isnt advertised too much. Luckily, someone from the MB display at the NYC Auto Show told me about it.

I was at Lime Rock on May 11th. It was a great event. Unfortunately, I could not stay for the full day.

This is only for MBUSA customers, right? There's nothing like this offered in Canada.

I'm registered for the 28th in Fontana as well, since Laguna Seca is fully booked! iirc, the amg academy event scheduled back in September 2011 at Laguna Seca was on the same day as the PL invitation.

Anybody know or attend?

I wanted to do Laguna Seca also, its my dream to drive on the tract before the liberals in CA shut it down. I registered for it in September and was put on a wait list, I was told that the tract days for it filled up the day registration opened but I dont know when this was...

On a side note... I was told to register for another event, then cancel. I was told if you cancel it you can reschedule at a later date, thus extending the free 1 year basic course, and re-register on the opening day for Laguna Seca. (I havent had time to call back and do this, but maybe someone here can tell me if this is BS or not.)

Interesting, I'll have to keep this in mind.

I don't know if the offer is still valid in Canada, but in 2010 (few months after i purchased my car) I did the AMG event in Mt-Tremblant at no charge.

I think AMG emailed me about it a while back. That's how I found out about it. I'm signed up for Texas Motor Speedway in September. Can't wait!

I am not 21 yet and I contacted AMG and they extended my offer for me until Next year when I turn 21, so you should try contacting them. I don't know if this offer is available for used cars though, I think it's just for new cars
