The Audi Driving Experience is a national racing-track based high-performance advanced driving tuition and education programme, initiated by Audi in 1983. Its primary aim is to educate drivers, by using theory and physical "hands-on" tuition, primarily involving the complexities of modern powertrains and chassis electronics found on virtually all of today's cars, with an emphasis on its own Audi cars.
The Audi Driving Experience is structured in a number of tiered programmes, and usually includes practising emergency manoeuvres utilising Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) systems. It also includes the theory and practice of safe high speed handling, and helps demonstrate and educate the abilities of Audis 'trademark' quattro four-wheel drive system. These activities are all carried out in a safe (but realistic) environment, away from public roads/highways, for the aim of learning driving techniques which will become "second-nature" in any potential every-day real-world situations, emergency or otherwise. These learned techniques will be valid irespective of the brand or marque of car driven on public roads.
AUDI AG provides all of the vehicles, along with hospitality at each facility.

Famous quotes containing the words driving and/or experience:
“On a late-winter evening in 1983, while driving through fog along the Maine coast, recollections of old campfires began to drift into the March mist, and I thought of the Abnaki Indians of the Algonquin tribe who dwelt near Bangor a thousand years ago.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
