that would be so worth it if i wasn't insanely poor.

 

so that's what i saw this one time when i went to Wine Country Motorsports. i saw a bunch of R8s doing hot laps. these are actually pretty good prices.

 

yeah it's a lot of money, but if you could afford it i think it would be incredibly fun and worth it.

 

They do that with other cars there too but its not so much but you aren't driving an R8

 

RS4 all the way

 

RS4......drool......

Although I'm seriously thinking about the "entry level" deal, might be a nice idea for track virgins and/or audi fanbois like me

EDIT: the $695 deal is only half-day. Meh.

 

Oooh, good value, but still a pretty penny for broke asses like me

 

^^Choku that's how i feel haha. good deal for people with money that aren't college students living the college dream of being poor.

 

I've done the 1/2 day events; drove the S5 (S4's were for the weenies who couldn't handle a stickshift), the TT, and the 09 A4. Of course I got lucky and got in on the free events, which Audi has stopped due to the tough economic times.

Beyond bragging rights of having flogged some choice euro machinery around one of the most well known tracks in North America, I felt I was a better driver at the end of the day. We also did the braking, accident avoidance, car control, & slalom courses, comparing the A4's to its competition (cept for the Legacy GT Spec.B which was suspiciously not included).

Track days really are the safest way to test your limits and learn how to control your car the right way(s).

 

Would you say that the event is worth the $695? I'm a big fan of the S5

 

That depends on how much $695 is to the individual.

Me personally, NO its not worth $695. For $250 I can take my own car around a track or the Sheriffs dept course. Audi is marketing the cars, and I am not going to pay for their marketing operations if I'm not buying a car outright.

GM had the Auto Show in Motion a few years back, that was free and you got to drive damn near everything, including the Vette...hell even the Saab 9-2x.
