AND THEN.....I got a call from AMG Academy yesterday and was told that they have a seat available!! So now I am officially confirmed for Thursday, Oct 25 at the Auto Club Speedway. I am so excited!

Is anyone from the forum attending the event at Auto Club Speedway that day? Do they let you drive the SLS even in the basic course? Any tips/suggestions are welcome!
Im going!!

Ah ok...I think I know who you are now. Your team drove the SLS up the corkscrew after the yellow team that I was a part of. I think it was you who rev'd the engine of the SLS and my instructor said "oh he must come from an M3"!

Yeah I was thinking about doing the advanced course in Fontana later this month, but I'd rather take it at Laguna Seca so I'll wait.

You'll get to drive the SLS, but not the black series in the basic course. I'm not sure if its different in the advanced and pro courses.
