I want to know what everyone’s experiences were like. I own a Ford Focus RS and I know they had the Adrenaline Academy when these were new, but I didn’t buy mine new so I missed out on it. I did however attend a Cadillac marketing event for the first generation V series cars way back in 2006, it was for prospective owners, and that was awesome taking all the V models around the track. It actually stuck with me because I bought a 2007 CTS V about 5 years later. We had instruction and light driver training from some pros including Tommy Kendall, we then took all the V series cars through auto cross courses and the road course at El Toro. We got given a care package with driving shoes and some other swag. What are the experiences you guys have had? Are there any you would like to do someday that you haven’t? I am talking about the factory backed events only.
The plaque they gave us.

My dad leased an e60 M5 in the mid-2000s, and included was a day at BMW’s testing facility in South Carolina.
It was a great day. An hour or so in a classroom for theory and a breakdown of the day, then the afternoon in cars. Skidpan in an M6, acceleration and breaking demos in Z4 M Coupes, and best of all a couple laps around a track in M5s.
Also got to see Bill Shatner there that day, picking up his new car.
