AMG Driving Academy - worth it?
Private Lounge announced that they are offering schools in the US starting in September - AMG Driving academy. They have two sets of dates for Laguna Seca - the number of days are different for each location. Has anyone done this and is it useful? How much is it? Want to do this if it is worth it.

Every single person that I've asked who has been to one of those events has said that it was a blast and worth every penny.

I attended a BMW M class as well. If the AMG driving academy is anything like it, it's worth EVERY penny. Fun, informative and confidence building. You can do things in the cars, with supervision and instruction, that you'd never do on your own on the street. You'll learn your limits and those of your car as well.
Go for it!
