Anybody ever participate in the "AMG Challenge" driving event? (by Mercedes)

yup, they are one of my clients and I used to work for them. Do it every year.

that said, I've done it twice. Cool part is that you get to actually drive the latest AMG's on a full track and a few others on a smaller autox type course. The crappy part is that considering they charge you something like a grand, you don't get very much actual seat time on the car and in my case, when the CLS55 that I was tossing around on track had the brake overheat warning light go on, which resulted in my session getting cut short. Lame.

If you've attended HPDE's and other track events before, you'd be disappointed by the AMG challenge but if you're a newbie that wants to pop your track cherry without using your own car and instead beating up on some seriously quick AMG cars (on the straights at least), then it's not such a bad idea.
