Mercedes flew us out there in 2014 for a weekend of canyon driving and trying out the new-then GTS on track. Really enjoyed the layout too. Yes it is private.

You did not. I am jealous AF and hate you just a little bit :-)

Sounds awesome. My cousin just got invited to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Leguna Seca in August by the BMW factory... which includes a +1 and test laps in all the new "M"s and i series cars... I'm thinking I need to be her +1
