What is Auditron?

 

It's a chance to drive your car in a fun, safe, learning environment, on one of the the most fun tracks in Northern California. It's a chance to learn more about yourself, your driving skills, and your car. It's a chance to meet and socialize with a diverse group of people who really enjoy our Audi brand of cars.

 

If it is your first or tenth time to an Audi driving event you will have a great time. Novice drivers will spend the morning of the first day in a classroom session and practice driving exercises to learn vehicle dynamics. The class and exercises are designed to enhance your car control skills and knowledge of your car.

 

During all driving exercises students drive their own cars and have club instructors to assist in developing better driving skills. This provides helpful input to ensure you get the most out of the experience, all while in a safe learning environment.

 

After the car control sessions the balance of the learning is on the track.  Run groups are established to allow students to be on track with other drivers of similar experience. Novice students always have an instructor in the car during on track sessions. Passing is allowed only on designated sections of the course, and under controlled circumstances, making for as safe of an environment as possible. Time spent on the track without side streets provides a great opportunity to safely learn advanced driving techniques and explore the capabilities of both car and driver.

 

Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA is the location of the annual ACGG AUDITRON event. Thunderhill is a 3.0 mile SCCA track that contains all types of corners that you are likely to experience in your day-to-day driving. This track includes several elevation changes, short & long straight-aways, and technical turns, yet it is considered to be one of the safest, and best tracks to improve your driving skills.  This unique combination of safety and complexity create the recipe for a great driving experience. Thunderhill recently underwent $1.5 million dollars in improvements including repaving and a new covered area in the paddock. This Audi Club event will give you an opportunity to improve your driving skills and learn more about your cars capabilities in a safe and controlled environment. Leave the track on Sunday night with driving skills that will enhance and improve your daily driving experience.
