So at Laguna, they schedule Stage II before Stage I. And to do Stage II, you have to complete Stage I.

So, in CA it's only a Stage I (with the SLS) or Stage II providing you go all the way to CT or FL first.

Aside from travel, doing both stages will set you back $5790.00.

Or, just drive a SLS at Stage I for $2295.00.

Eh.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55

So you have already experienced this ?
I posed a question on here a few weeks ago, asking members if they had attended AMG Driving Academy, and only got one "yes" response....

So, you're not doing the SLS Stage I (?) You've done a Stage I or equivalent in Europe or elsewhere, right?

What exactly do they mean by 'equivalent'? And how "enforceable" are they with it?

"As an advanced program, Stage II is offered to drivers who have completed either Stage I, and AMG Challenge or European Driving Academy program or equivalent course."

I still don't get why they're doing the Stage I after Stage II at Laguna. I suppose it's a track scheduling issue. In CT and FL, it's scheduled as I first and then II (but with no SLS, of course.)

I've been to the AMG Callange, and this is a two day event so man it's going to be a blast. I think they just want to make sure you have "SOME" knowlage of driving fast and can handle a car. I don't think they will turn you away when you're paying $3500 So who's in? lets do this.....
