Audi UK Driving Experience
Discussion
I did this yesterday (Wed 21st) at Silverstone and have to say that if you get a chance, do it!!!
Our group was the third for 2010 and now they have the S5, TTS and, new for 2010, instead of the S3, they have the V10 R8 with R-tronic.
Audi do not go on about any health and safety stuff, just let you and you buddy (they put you into driving pairs) drive the cars as they were intended. I have a manual R8 V8 and have to say I was impressed with the R-tronic in the V10. Perfect for fast laps and track use.
My biggest surprise was how absolutely chuckable and fun the TTS was. We ended up doing about 10 laps in that with most corners going sideways - and the Audi guys loved it and never once tried to stop anyone driving on (and sometimes beyond
) the limit.
Thinking of the advanced course now and possibly the one at Grand Prix Circuit de Catalunya.
As I said, a wonderful day out and you spend nearly all the time from 09:30 to 4pm actually in the cars - hardly any downtime at all.

Did the same ADE about 5 years ago when i had my C5 RS6 & agree it is a fantastic event, well run & they WANT you to push the cars hard.
Back then the line up was TT Quattro Sport, C5 RS6 Saloons & B6 S4 Saloons & all got what can best be described as full on treatment.
Have thought myself about doing one of the Advanced Experiences but just can't find the time.
