  • The AMG Driving Academy’s EMOTION - Tour Spirit of AMG

    While most of us here would argue that there’s no such thing as too much track time, we also understand that high speed lapping, under the watchful eye (and occasionally, the harsh criticism) of an instructor isn’t for everyone. Mercedes-Benz understands this, too, which is why it offers an incredibly diverse range of programs through its AMG Driving Academy. On the high-performance side, you can sign up to drive the SLS AMG GT3 racer, but only after you’ve proven your physical fitness and driving ability to the satisfaction of the school’s instructors. If a day at...

  • Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 race debut

    The AMG Driving Academy just got a lot more interesting: you can now work your way up to getting the SLS AMG GT3 on track in the Masters program. You may remember the SLS AMG GT3 from our live coverage of the world debut event in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Four stages in the Masters package include: Experience, Warm-Up, Training, and Competition. Of course, rank novices won't be able to suit up and take the racer out on track--at least not for the whole...
