Sure did. Did it within about a month after getting the RS4 (April '07). Stuck 1k miles my car (getting to and fro Silverstone) - boo

They supplied 5.2V10 A6, 3.2 TT (Both auto) and RS4's for the day. You were always in a car (2 people per car) either driving or passenger. It was great seeing what the car could do with and without ESP on.

I would love to save up and do a day at www.palmersport.com - would be quite costly from where I am from but the experience must be amazing. 8)

I did the Silverstone one about 3 years ago, as a thank you from my Audi Dealer.

At that time i had an RS6 saloon & the cars on the ADE were RS6 Saloons, B6 S4's & the TT Quattro Sport.

An excellent event & well worth attending.

Did it a couple of years ago - at time time they were using 4.2 A6's, RS4's and 3.2TT's (old model). Great day out - for the passenger ride at the end, grab the front seat (great fun).

lma07 - the PalmerSport day is well worth it for the selection of cars you get to drive, although with my height the 911 with roll cage/helmet is a pain in the a**e.

It will probably be on the Audi driving experience part of the Audi website.
