To have that dream qualifying lap across the track in a super-sports car where every single piece of data emanating from your car is noted by the experts and given back to you is only a dream for the ordinary driver. It is something the ordinary guys could have only when they play a racing game on one of those virtual simulators. Even that is a bit of a far away dream for the ordinary racing fanatic. But all that will now change thanks to Audi.

Offering car enthusiasts a way to legally wring-out some of their hottest products, Audi has partnered with Emotive to launch their 2008 Audi Sportscar Experience. Unlike last year’s marketing-oriented Audi Driving Experience, or any other Driver Education event, the Sportscar Experience is focused on high-performance driving. This is a fabulous offer indeed and the idea to get racing fans a real shot at this is really wonderful gesture by Audi. Full marks to the guys up there!

The program consists of several different one- and two-day programs held at Infineon Raceway in California. Drivers sign up for the event of their choice, and each one includes a high-performance Audi “S” model. The vehicles include the 420-hp Audi RS4, the 354-hp Audi S5, the 450-hp Audi S8, and the awesome 420-hp Audi R8. Of course to enjoy it for half-a-day will cost you $ 695 and for a full day will cost you $1,295. So it is not that cheap after all!
