RS246.com Annual Meet 2013 – Millbrook Proving Ground

Audi UK really went to town for us and put on a wonderful event with great hospitality, a wonderful selection of S and RS models and renowned artist Ian Cook (Pop Bang Colour) creating a unique painting of the new RS6.  We were limited to only 30 attendees but could easily have doubled that.  Next time we will have more!!

Below are a selection of images from the day were teams were sent to try out the various models around Millbrook.  The play areas included the alpine course, high speed bowl and mile straight.  It’s fair to say that the C7 RS6 was the one most wanted to take home 🙂

Congratulations to our award winners who were selected based on the most notable owners’ cars on the day.  Jay for his pristine B7 RS4 and Hamish for his wonderful C5 RS6 plus.
