Default Atlanta Audi Quattro Challenge......(long)

Just got back from the Quattro Challenge at Road Atlanta. What a blast! Despite the large number of attendees, got a considerable amount of driving time..three laps of the track (plus one with an insructor driving), four rounds of autocross, 6 rounds of wet skidpad autocross, and 5 accident avoidance runs. My hat off to Audi. Very well done.

I also spoke with an engineer from Ingelstadt. Seems the TT won't see a full makeover for 2 or 3 years.

If the Quattro Challenge comes to your town, DO IT!

Default that was long? :D I had a great time too.... did they by any chance show you a video with my car?

Someone else said that the video they were showing had me driving... you could tell by the license plate.

Any idea?

I had a blast, just like you said.. it was a great time.

Thanks!

Default Well, if it was on the auto-x track, yes :D

My first run rocked... pretty close to first.. but the subsequent runs sucked, I was trying too hard. I kill a lot of little orange cones that day.

Default Why want Audi do this in Chicago??

I'm paying $250 to do driving school and lap times at Gingerman Raceway on 13 June.

Ferg, down in Texas arranged for driving school and lap time for a miniscule amount of money.

Audi should do something for all of us in Chicago.
