CLK63 Race Car at Laguna Seca
Same post from the W211 AMG forum, but not everyone looks.
From the AMG PL event for the SL65 BS release. This is from Sunday Nov 16, 2008. The CLK63 Race Car was giving hot lap rides.

Here is a short video of a C63 on the paddock lot autocross course

I will post some SL65 BS clips another day.

That is some great footage. Thanks. From the cornering sounds.... it sounded like the car was on street tires, which is unusual for a race car.

Out Of Control!
Just proves how bad *** that CLK 63 Race Car was. The sound is just symphony. Suspension looks so dialed in that when it cornered i didn't even see a body roll. The downshift throttle blip sounded awsome as well.

Thanks for the video. I especially enjoyed the throttle matching down shifts. Let see AMG built two of these race cars, which aren't going to be raced! Then AMG tells us it's too costly to upgrade the BS to the rev matched downshifts, alla C63. I believe I'll mention this on the PL next month. I wonder what it cost to develop the ecu's for the race cars?

I don't think at those speeds the car was upset as the pro drivers somtimes don't follow the rules that us mortals use when driving.

Exactly...Usually it's better to get your gear changes done in a straight line, but many times in racing it's used in conjunction with trail braking and/or to increase weight transfer to the front. Really just depends what your trying to accomplish.
