I was all signed up to go yesterday at 8AM. Unfortunately, my alarm for some reason was set in a mode where it only goes off Monday-Friday. It had been a late night before, and so I ended up sleeping until 11, completely missing my time slot. I'm not happy.
I love these kind of events though. I've been to Mazda's a couple of times and made it to a Lexus one as well. Just an excuse to flog their cars and get free food and goodies while you're at it.
i had a hectic morning as i watched the Belgium GP (Originally Posted by Deke
) and ran out the house at the checker to be at AMS by 10:30.
So what all do they let you do with the cars? I'm guessing a driving instructor rides with you? If they let you go all out on the track I'm definitely going to have to do something like this in the future. Sounds like an awesome experience.
no you drive with a partner

"hello?"
"yes?"
"uh the driver of my car just went into the grass"
"ok well dont do it again next time"

Val for President
Damn, so you bring a friend to ride along? I gotta do this next time it comes along.
Me and my mom and dad went. Me and my dad were the only ones to take out cones of outs 1:30 class. Needless to say we were having a freaking blast, when the cars would start sliding it just ment keep it floored and hold the hell on. I managed to disable the traction control on all the cars I drove too. lol

i was in a pretty lucky group as we were the first ones to roll on the track. Therefore from the get go we set a very fast pace and had atleast 3 laps at the limit of the cars. And what was that comfort/dynamic nonsense. I guess they thought old people drive Audi's too. I don't think one person there actually used the comfort mode...ever.
....ok
Yeah me an my dad were having a blast ****ing around on the auto-x cross. Its not my car, so I tried to spin that ***** out. Had a smile from ear to ear doing it.
white power!!!!!!
what group were you guys in for the road course?
also what cars did you drive first on the autox
Val for President
1:30, 1st group for the road course. I got stuck in the last car though and kept catching the cars in front of me. First car I drove on the auto x was the BMW, then Audi, Mercedes, Lexus. The IS250 was the car we kept taking cones over in. Fun times with no consequences.
white power!!!!!!
ah ok we drove Lexus, BMW, Audi, Mercedes
and on the road course i think we were the 1 group in the first group.
Val for President
was a good time for sure, and the jay-turn accident was epic
btw if you went at 11 then you likely were with a bunch of folks from audiworld forums.
Damn it I was suppose to go today but I had other stuff to do.
My wife and I were in the 8am group. Was much fun.
Rich...Bob...Stan...?????
im pretty sure i saw you. I was pulling in as you were leaving. I was in the white STI. Maybe you don't remember.
Yeah, I think I remember.
Rich...Bob...Stan...?????
man that sh*t was so fun yesterday and F*CKING EPIC!
Val for President
I missed it.. Due to a late idea of driving to NYC...
But glad some of you peeps had fun.
I went on the last session with my friend yesterday. FREAKING LOVED IT!
I want the new A4 now though. Very well balanced for a car. The IS250 had HORRIBLE HORRIBLE understeer ( lawls my friend plowed through the cones in the first turn - he's not a car guy so it was a first for him ) but it had paddle shifters... and I managed to get the IS250 sideways in the 2nd to last turn ( the big broad one ) burning all 4 tires.
Yeah I got a talking after that one
Although then we ran the road course, my friend driving first and a great pace! we switch and the car in front of me kept hitting the damn brakes on the straightaways! I came close to rear ending the guy once, and another time I was catching up so fast ( he was accelerating as well ) that I was in the "left lane" about to pass, till I realized we weren't allowed to pass
And the Audi A8 has a bumping system

Yeah that is250 does understeer like a *****. When it would let go it would start beeping. All that did was make me want to keep it beeping for longer!
white power!!!!!!
I have been before.. pretty fun.
:boobies: &
I was there. My group went at 8am. It was a badass event for it to be free. I drove the piss out of the A4 & A5. I was talking to the mechanic that works on all the cars for the event and he was saying that they average about 200 miles out of a set of tires on those cars lolol
okay a heads up. if you dont know where the traction control button is on one of the cars look for black tape covering the button.
i went to a gm driving event with a non car friend we were in a gto at tuners field. in the middle of the hairpen turn i turned off TC on the gto and he looped it. lol the cone nazis gave him a black X on his wrist.
