This year for the first time ever, Audi is combining two of its most popular driving events to bring you Audi driving experience. Promising to be New Zealand’s most exhilarating driving experience, 2013 offers an extended programme of tracks and a variety of driving courses.
Consisting of Audi ice experience and Audi track experience, Audi driving experience is the ultimate programme of white knuckle driving. In fact, it’s your chance to put both yourself and our latest Audi models to the test.
Combine some of New Zealand’s finest driving locations, quality tracks and awe-inspiring landscapes, with sporty Audi models and a professional and motivated driving team and you’ve got yourself the driving experience of a lifetime.
With a range of driving experiences in our 2013 programme, all at top driving locations, your next corporate event can be truly memorable. From the track to the ice, there’s a driving experience to challenge and exhilarate any skill level.
Take advantage of our expertly designed experiences or request a unique course tailored to the exact requirements of your business. Either book a whole session to ensure exclusivity for your business, or host a group of clients as part of an Audi driving experience course that hosts other guests in addition to your group.
For businesses that run corporate fleets, some insurance companies may even offer premium discounts for drivers who have completed an Audi driving experience course.
