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)

You'll love the ABS and especially the controlled slide demo in an RS4 !!

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.

OH YES FOREGOT TO SAY,THE DAY FINISHES WITH ONE OF THE AUDI DRIVERS TAKING YOU FOR THREE FLAT OUT LAPS IN AN R8. GOOD, BUT FOR ME, NOT AS GOOD AS THE FULL BROADSIDES IN THE RS4.ON THE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE DAY.
