Audi R8 Introduction

July 8, 2016 @ 8:15 am - 4:30 pm

YOU. THE TRACK. THE TRUTH.

The Audi R8 Introduction is the first, baseline skill-building course in a great series of comprehensive Audi high-performance driving programs unleashing all the capability found within the Audi R8. Using both the R8 and another aggressive Audi performance car, the RS5, this 1-day course is composed of classroom instruction, dynamic car-control exercises and four 30-minute lapping sessions—ample time to become a confident R8 pilot. For those who want more, we invite you to take part in the next level, R8 Intermediate.
