Looks like pretty docile driving. The only thing someone will learn from that is driving lines which can easily be thought on a racing simulator. I sure hope they have some more challenging situations in this academy where you really need to push a real car to its limit to understand what inputs are needed.

As you can see, even with that level of "tame" driving, some individuals still couldn't follow the proper line around the track.
That being said, the only limiting factor that day from a speed perspective was the rest of the people in the group...unfortunately the closer we stay together, the faster we lap.
Sadly, we had a few whose brains processed 2-5 car lengths as 10-20...annoying.

The AMG driving academy is a fantastic experience. However, when it comes to the lapping you are only as fast as your group. Fortunately, when I attended my group was aggressive and we ran pretty fast. We were hitting 130MPH on the back straight of the track, not nearly as fast as you could push, but still moving.
