Having the means to buy a performance automobile does not automatically come with the ability to drive it well. Few are as keenly aware of this correlation (or lack thereof) than Mercedes-Benz and its performance arm, AMG.

In addition to building some of the most capable performance cars on the market, AMG also operates the AMG Driving Academy at locations around the world to show its customers how to get the most out of their cars.

Courses ranges in price from $1,595 for a one-day 'Basic Training' class to $3,695 for a three-day comprehensive 'Pro Training' course. To give us a taste (and then some) of what's on offer, AMG has released a ten-part video series on YouTube covering the basic elements of what a driver needs to know, everything from proper seat adjustment to how to drift.

The series is hosted by experienced racer, television presenter and instructor Tommy Kendall, and it's worth taking the time to watch. Each segment is only three or four minutes long and can be found after the jump. Watch them, and you're sure to learn a thing or two. AMG is also giving away a free day at the academy for you and three friends on its Facebook page.Continue reading AMG Driving Academy publishes ten-part driving course on YouTube
