Audi R8 Driving Thrill
Get behind the wheel of the Audi R8 supercar - a true German motoring masterpiece. Audi’s leading designers have pushed the boundaries of racing technology, futuristic construction and luxury refinement to deliver a car which is as exciting to drive as it is stunning to look at. With a 4.2 litre V8 engine capable of reaching 187 mph, this car is sure to satisfy! Begin with a briefing from a qualified instructor who’ll talk you through racing lines, techniques and how to best handle the car out on track. Then you’ll be driven around the circuit in a hot hatch for two or three demo laps before putting the theory into practise in the Audi R8. Drive four breathtaking laps of the 1.8 mile circuit available with Everyman, or go six miles at any Racing School venue - all designed to put cars like this through their paces. Your driving will be assessed and you’ll walk away with a certificate as a memento.
