The Experience
Here you have the chance to compare two versions of Audi’s most iconic model, the awesome R8.
Head to head, you have the awesome 4.2 V8 and the mighty 5.2 V10 Plus. It will be up to you to decide which one you think should be crowned ‘king of the track’. With both cars sporting permanent 4 wheel drive, the handling is superb. Will you prefer the more lightweight and nimble V8 or the brute force of the V10?
First things first, you will get yourself signed in with your friendly registration team, then it’s time to climb into the beautiful leather driving seat of the first R8. With your Instructor offering guidance where needed, it’s time to head out of the pits for 6 miles driving each of these incredible supercars!
The fun isn’t over yet though! Time to jump in the passenger seat of our specially prepared performance saloon for a High Speed passenger lap driven by a Race Instructor! Really great fun!
An experience day that will not be forgotten in a hurry!
