Advanced Driving at Paul Ricard

This trip involves driving the very finest sportscars from Mercedes-Benz at Bernie Ecclestone’s Paul Ricard development in Le Castellet.

You train in provided AMG vehicles – including some Mercedes-Benz SLS AMGs – under professional guidance. Here you learn to confidently control the dynamic performance limits of the AMG vehicles in slalom and load alternation with the right cornering and braking techniques.

The training includes an initial introduction, section training and guided driving including data recording. Plenty of driving enjoyment is guaranteed: For in the course of the training you’ll have the opportunity to try out each of the vehicles provided and to go for a ride in the AMG race taxi.

The pleasures of the palate are not forgotten either: The arrival day ends with a short theoretical introduction and a dinner together, where you will be pampered with a delicious menu.

Price includes return flights into Marseille and a Mercedes-Benz hire car shared between two members.
