Was an awesome event last year with the unveiling of the GT R on North American soil. I'm in the front row with my wife and brother-in-law in that pic! Going again this year.

PL gatherings are like, mini-Academy. The autocross event is with their cars (CLA45). Your car is parked in the owner's paddock, where other owners oogle them if something's special.

It is more of a community building event then it is a track day but AMG owners will have a chance to drive one of AMG's cars on an autocross track and owners and their guests can go for a hot lap around Laguna Seca as passengers with an AMG Driving Academy Instructor behind the wheel.

The even always brings together an impressive number of AMG's and a few surprises.

You can take pics, but no GoPros on the vehicles. I was able to record the lap that we took on Laguna Seca using my cellphone, but clearly with the Gs being pulled (went into a 4-wheel drift at the top of the corkscrew!) it was mostly crap video.

Just enjoy it!

Cameras for the event are permitted and encouraged but we do not allow attached cameras during autocross or taxi rides.
