Tommy Kendall used to be the celebrity host instructor at the AMG Driving Academy. Great driver and very personable with lots of interesting race stories. Here is a video clip of him doing a lap of Laguna Seca in an SLS. It does share the DCT with the street version of the NGT.

Toyota had a similar simulator set up for their Supra at the Barrett Jackson display. Not as large video screens but the electronics and hydraulics were cool to look at.

I was at Amelia Island and was looking at a GT40 being unloaded when Mr. Kendall walked by (unattended) on (I'm assuming) his morning fitness walk. He stopped and we had a great 1:1 for a few minutes...GREAT GUY!

Would be cool if we could have an event there again with good weather and multimatic could have a couple of Mark II,s there that you could rent and take parade laps in.

Tommy was at the first GT hospitality tent at the wash out race in 2015. The hospitality suites have come a long way!
