Invitation

I haven't received one, but when you go there, make sure you tell the big MB execs about all the problems people here seem to be having, especially with the service departments and customer treatment.

C63S past: E90 M3 6M, w211 E55
just came back from it (about 2 hours ago).....

it's pretty fun. some notes:

all the C-classes. 4 matics and 2 wheel drive variants. all auto...boo

also, e320, e500, s500 all 4 matic

ESP button is covered w/ black tape. i guess they don't want you to touch it.....good thing i knew what it was (makes it much more fun).

Courses, you can drive as fast as you want (hairpins, chicanes, decreasing radius turns, straights, etc. just don't hit a cone, or else you'll get a talking.

Best part of the experience is the C32 with professional drivers. Say you are a real car enthusiast, and have the organizer at the front of the line direct you to the driver that pushes the car the hardest. It was raining here, and lets just say that the car was about 90% in a drift. Very cool guys! I asked if he wanted to take the E55 on the track, but he said his boss wouldn't be too happy.

Good food, fun track (push the car as hard as you want), and had 4 C32's that were hot roddin all day. If you participate, make sure you do the C32 experience. By far more fun than the actual self driving experiences, but make sure you get the crazy one (i am thinking he's a rally driver)!!!!!!!!!
