Does anyone else get an invitation to the Asphalt Up event at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, CA later today, 1/31/2015 to drive the new RC 350 and RC F?

I did after I got my RC a few weeks ago but sad to say I could not follow up. Even worse is that the track is only 1/2 hr away.

...and did you know that you can get $1k off after you attend?

Where to begin?! I had a great time at this event (my second). They clearly needed the track for the RCF coz that thing can haul a$$! They have you check out the features and go through the track rules right after you check in and they set you off to drive to your heart's content. We were able to try the A5 (which was very dissappointing IMHO), BMW435 (handles pretty well) and the Mercedes Benz 350C (which actually went to the top of my list). Of course they also had the F Sport versions of the CT, GS, & LS along with variations of the RC - regular, F sport and AWD.

For the RCF, they had about 8 of them and 2 M4's. We had to follow a pace car which was being driven by a professional so there were no issues in tailgating since we all had to keep up! I have to say that the RCF is a beast!!!

Just got my $1,000 rebate today!

Did you notice the A5 was a 2.0T?

Are you sure the MB was a 350?

Anyone know of such an event coming to the East Coast?

Didn't notice if the A5 had a 2.0T badge but had the S Line Badge on the side.

yes the MB was a C350
