RS246 takes first place at the UK forum Audi Driving Experience at Silverstone

Here is our lucky winner of the RS246 Audi Driving Experience phone competition.  Audi asked us to bring along a forum member who would represent their view of the site and what Audi could do for us.  We decided that instead of running a competition, we’d choose someone with no issues holding back on what he thinks….  The one and only Bam_Bam!!

ADE 2013 001 - Lucky Winner

This event was the usual Audi Driving Experience which is highly recommended to anyone who would love to try out a selection of Audi cars closer to the limit than they would usually be prepared to go to in uncontrolled conditions.  Can’t say enough good things about the Audi Driving Experience event, organisation and staff; the perfect day for any car enthusiast!

The toys for the day were the TT RS plus (Fastest car in the world), RS5 and R8 v10 plus.  Morning events included R8 high speed braking and lane change, RS5 cornering on track and a timed slalom in the TT RS.  A spot of lunch and some discussions about how the forums and Audi UK can work together better and then on to the afternoon events; RS5 fast lane change (ESP test) and on track in the TTRS and R8.

The day closed with a thanks to all and an instructors hat presented to the winner of each slalom event.  RS246 took overall first place for the slalom and Bam_Bam’s time in overall second.

10 Years Old Today!!!

In hindsight, we chose a terrible month to launch RS246 but here we are 10 years later….  To quote one of the founding members, “Built it – they will come!” and you did!  10 years on and we have an amazing enthusiast community.

RS246 @ Brands Hatch

Last year we celebrated 50 million hits and well on the way to see another million on top of that for this year.  In the last 12 months, RS246.com has had around 7 million page views during 1 million visits from around 250,000 unique visitors.

RS246 @ The Old Lodge

The forum, with over 560,000 posts, is where most of the “action” takes place.  RS246 is renowned as the premier source of information from real Audi R, S and RS owners.

Wishing everyone the very best for 2013!!

Time Attack – Round 1 Cadwell Park – Team Milltek GT-R

A wet start to the season and the day, but things dried up and Team Milltek GT-R reclaimed a few positions on the leader board albeit some fluid issues both inside and outside the cockpit of the SVM 850-TSR. Team Milltek GT-R overcame all the odds and put in a great lap time of circa 1:38 which resulted in a 4th place, unfortunately not on the podium this time.

As you can imagine the GT-R attracted quite a bit of attention. Surprisingly, we managed to get a picture without a crowd!!

Look at the focus of this man, and this was when he was reversing!!!

“The Mountain”

We were wondering why nobody had sponsored the spokes on the wheels…

But seriously, this team is built from the same passion and enthusiasm that burns within all of us (It’s just some people take it to the extreme!!)

Of course this is an Audi site and the only Audi of the day was this S2 from Holland.

It’s a shame it wasn’t the fastest car today and also a shame the driver didn’t see the blue flag or the green GT-R, on a hot lap, in his rear view mirror.

A superb day and fabulous Team. Thank you Milltek Sport 🙂
