Rarely would you get a chance to learn the ropes of being a professional racer. In fact, not all people fascinated by motorsports get the chance to do so. And for their part, putting up the U.S. AMG Driving Academy seems to be something worth looking into especially if you have top professional instructors guiding you on what it feels like to be on the tracks.

To top it all off, you get the chance to be behind the wheel of AMG models which most may rarely experience. Among the models you may potentially get to drive include the all new E63 AMG, SL63 AMG, C63 AMG, SLK55 AMG and the CLK63 AMG Black Series.

The program features custom-designed exercises across three tracks:

• Lime Rock Park (Lime Rock, CT) – September 9-15, 2009
• Palm Beach International Raceway (West Palm Beach, FL) – September 22-27, 2009
• Laguna Seca Raceway (Monterey, CA) – November 7-8 & 17-20, 2009

As for the types of programs they are offering (prices indicated):

• AMG Driving Academy Stage I: A one-day program designed to teach the fundamentals of performance driving dynamics and car control maneuvers using customized exercises that emphasize the power and handling capabilities of AMG vehicles. Drivers will also test their skills on the track at high speeds and during performance course competition. The AMG Driving Academy Stage I program fee is $1,895.00 per participant.
• AMG Driving Academy Stage I SLS: Drivers attending the AMG Driving Academy Stage One at Laguna Seca Raceway from November 17-20 will have the opportunity to be among the very first to drive the most technologically advanced AMG ever – the all-new 2011 SLS AMG. The AMG Driving Academy Stage 1 SLS program fee is $2,295.00 per participant which includes a one night stay at the InterContinental Hotel in Monterey.
• AMG Driving Academy Stage II: A two-day program that provides a deep level of technical driver training both on and off the track. As an advanced program, Stage 2 is offered to drivers who have completed Stage I or an equivalent course. The program offers significantly more track driving over Stage 1 to extract a driver’s maximum potential in a performance driving setting. A unique feature of Stage II is the use of computer driver training and evaluation through advanced onboard diagnostics and in-car camera recordings of their laps. This program also includes a competitive performance course competition. The AMG Driving Academy Stage II program fee is $3,495.00 per participant.
