I'd be happy too. It will be somewhat skewed by the fact that I got to push the GT S much, much harder. The MCT in the W205 is much improved over the variant that was in the W204 but the Getrag-sourced DCT in the GT S is just incredible.

Perfect, thanks! You're absolutely right; it is a very nice touch in a cabin filled with nice touches. You are going to have an absolute blast at COTA. First-class facility. The circuit itself is very challenging - 20 turns, lots of elevation changes, and 2 very fast straights. Enjoy Session 2! After that, all you'll have left is 3/Pro.

Thanks buddy - appreciate it!

Very nice. The instructors you guys have are really first-class. I'm already trying to sort out scheduling Level 2, lol.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the Austin area. Having just gotten back, I do have some hotel/flight recommendations.
