A bespoke Driving Experience has been tailored on May 31st, 2019 in which the fundamentals of high performance driving will be imparted by world class driving instructors in both the classroom, the skidpads and the track. Once the classroom session has been given, the group will warm up with some dynamic exercises in the amazing RS3 and TTRS – against the stopwatch.
Then, after debriefing with the instructors it is on to get familiar with the Audi R8 V10 Plus and begin the track initiation where unleashing the car’s power will be the task at hand under the tutelage of our instructors: the art and science of driving on-track will focus on learning about the cars and how to put the incredible Quattro All-Wheel Drive system to its maximum use on the track, proper braking-steering and accelerating techniques as you follow the proper “racing line” while sharing this unforgettable experience at the helm of the worlds’ most amazing and yet, safest vehicles on the world’s roads.
Our instructors will hone their approach to your individual skill level, making sure everyone makes the most of their time at the Circuit of the Americas, taking driving skills to new levels of car control, exhilaration and safety nonetheless.
Bring comfortable clothing, appropriate to the forecasted weather; thin soled shoes and if you don’t have a helmet, you can use one of ours as you take to the track!
