About this event
As a note, we are now on a waiting list due to our number of instructors. Please continue to register, and we will let you know as space opens up, and we expect it to do so!
Come out and join us for an educational day of fun driving on Summit Point's Jefferson Circuit - The Jefferson Circuit is a seven-turn, 1.12-mile (1.80 km) road course that was designed as a dedicated course for high-performance, accident avoidance and emergency operation driver training. The Jefferson Circuit is a course that demands constant attentiveness and smooth inputs from drivers.

For those of you who have not attended a MBCA | GWS track event before, we run an event that is designed to be both fun and make you a better driver. This is not designed as competition or anything other than spending a day playing with cars on a race track. We work very hard to make sure the event is safe as well!
You do not have to be a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America to participate in this event and you can drive any street legal car as long as it can pass the required pre-event technical inspection (independent shop or dealer).
Some open-top vehicles will also need to meet specific safety requirements; please contact the event registrar directly if your car falls into this category.
