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:
“The beast exists because it is stronger than the thing that you call evolution. In it is some force of life, a demon, driving it through millions of centuries. It does not surrender so easily to weaklings like you and me.”
—Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Lucas (Nestor Paiva)
“The experience of the gangster as an experience of art is universal to Americans. There is almost nothing we understand better or react to more readily or with quicker intelligence.... In ways that we do not easily or willingly define, the gangster speaks for us, expressing that part of the American psyche which rejects the qualities and the demands of modern life, which rejects “Americanism” itself.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)
