COTA: ADA Advanced Course 12/2016
I just signed up for the advanced course in COTA in December 2016. Will fly from Cali. Can't wait!
Any prospective 'classmates' here?

You will just love the experience --I did the basic and advanced last fall at COTA and had a smile on my face for days. 143 down the back straight and all the AMGs to drive. The GTS is best but C63S not far behind.

Good to hear. I did my basic at Laguna Seca a few years ago and loved it. I was tempted to go back there, but COTA is current if you know what I mean. Something about driving an F1 track.

143??!!! Holy s**t. I did the Advanced class at Laguna Seca last November and the fastest we went was about 105 due to the short and kinked main straight.

I'm going to the PRO+ at COTA in December this year. I guess I'll be getting a taste of some real speed this time out.

I asked one of the instructors and he said if they did not slow us some we could be doing about 155 on the back straight.

I just checked some of the Pro class videos. It looks like 150+ is typical for the main straight. That looks wild.
