Hmmm...I'm curious to find out if anyone on here has been to the school and how it was? Suggestions for which track location?
Found a link to a good discussion

Well I'm just back from the Homestead Miami Jaguar Performance Academy.
What a blast! I took day 1 and day 2.
We did laps on the road course in the XJR, XFR, XKR, and the F-type. Lots of laps. All the cars are incredible. The XKR suffers from the 6-speed shift-up coming out of the corners where the others did not.
The F-type is the clear winner here but the others are incredibly fun to drive. I was blown away by the XJR's track performance. This is a beast to be reckoned with -- so watch out if you encounter one on the road! I mean track.
Day 2 was an extension of day 1. We had in-car instruction with some top drivers. I happened to get Roberto Guerrero for my in-car instructor. So smooth and cool. Made the XJR feel like an F.
We competed in an autocross -- very challenging. Looked simple but just a fraction of a second separated first from fifth. Dang-it!!
Our team placed second in the competition so we home with nothing!
At the end we all got a ride in the F with an instructor. Mine was from the GM team. Jesus. This was a hang-on and s**t your pants kind of ride in the F.
Full-speed pass through the traps at 143 coming off the oval. Oh baby!!
Here's a link to a video of the F coming thru the traps off the oval
