Audi Driving Experience
Hello,
This is not directly a Q5 topic but as a Q5 owner I was offered the possibility to try the Audi driving experience. It is a fisrt in Canada and I wonder if it is worth the cost of it. They are asking 370$ for half a day, meal included. I fear it is more a promotion event than a real driving experience. Anyone here tried it? Do they let you push the cars a bit or is it more an easy ride?
Thank you

Even was well organized and and wife and I really enjoyed - it was FREE!

Audi in Europe has something like this for the Q5 its and off road experience that you can pay for and you take out loaner Q5's through a course. I'll try to scan the paper tomorrow for it so you can see if its about the same thing.

It is not the same. What is on the "menu" is half a day driving a S4 and a A6 on a race track. The dessert: a ride with a pilot in a R8.

Oh that doesn't seem that much fun, I hate riding passenger and having to pay for it. I've done a few track days in Europe and driven the R8 and various other supercars for alot less than $370 per car.

The R8 ride is more a bonus in my opinion. I was more looking forward to learn some driving technique. most the time you are driving the S4 and the A6.

I guess since I have lots of track experience, it just doesn't seem like its worth it to me. But if you are new to tracks it'll probably be a lot more informative for you. Hopefully they have some fun instructors in the car that will let you push the cars a bit.

I have taken an advanced driving school class at NHMS in Loudon NH using my previous vehicle of a Mazda CX7 .... I know not quite a driving 'experience' as listed in this thread.
http://www.whitemtn-bmwclub.org/adss.html
Was the BEST driving course I could have taken as it forced me to test the limits of my OWN vehicle under potentially hazardous driving conditions with instructors skilled to get you through it. I have since wanted to go back with my Mazda Miata and would consider trying it with the Q (in a few years closer to warranty end). This was an all day event held on a Saturday with a follow up class on Sunday for those interested in learning track driving of their vehicle.
and in a google search I see my 'local' Audi club had a driving school held at NHMS as well: http://www.naaclub.org/?p=363
