Audi had been made very successful these few years in HK,
they also show the generous in these kind of events, they let you drive their cars as much as you want.
That reminds me the BMW driving experience held in TST near the heliport last year (Pinguhk were with me at the time),
They put cones to make the road very tight and that force you to reduce your speed,
i understand there must be for safety reason as some people got no skills at all, but what is the point?
Can people really test the car performance in a 30km/h track? Doesnt make sence to me :thumbsdown:

Someone crashed one of those test bmws at the tamer site bmw event, think I saw some angry face on the bmw staff. think they could have been more sympathic even though the driver might be a little over ambitious.
they even let people drive their top range supercar in the event.
Totally understand their point but i think they(BMW/Merc) are too conservative in my opinion.

Haha....car crashes also happened in Audi experience (Almost every year), but they still helding the event each year,
they even let people drive their top range supercar in the event.
