What is This Event About?
- Have fun driving your own car on a racetrack.
- Enjoy a supportive and safe learning environment.
- Improve your driving skills and learn your car's capabilities.
- Join a diverse group of friendly people who love performance driving and really understand, appreciate, and enjoy their cars.
Drive your own car - You will learn in your own car throughout the event. Club instructors help you improve your driving skills in a structured learning environment.
All makes welcome - All makes and models of coupes and sedans are welcome at Audi Club SoCal driving schools - and we welcome select models of convertibles and CUV/SUV, too.
Expert instruction - Beginners will spend Friday afternoon learning about vehicle dynamics in the classroom and practicing car control exercises on the skid pad. Saturday and Sunday you will drive on the track with an instructor. Whatever your level of experience, Audi Club utilizes sophisticated learning methods tailored to your skill level using in-car instruction and live classroom and technical sessions. We also utilize online and remote instruction where appropriate.
Safety first - Run groups are established to allow students to be on track with other drivers of similar experience. This event is not a race, a racing school, or practice for racing. Passing is allowed only on designated sections of the course and under controlled conditions. Drivers with documented previous experience will be placed in a run group appropriate for their skill level and their car's capabilities.

Why Audi Club?
We provide you with much more learning and social content than other groups which go to the track. We are very proud of the glowing reviews drivers give our events. Here are just a few from our most recent Audi Club SoCal driving school:
- "The Audi Club SoCal track events are consistently top notch. A class act through and through. This was a SAFE way to push myself and the car all weekend. ... The community experience is also great. Everyone was supportive and enthusiastic throughout the group levels. Excited for the next one!"
- "The driving school has a remarkable supportive culture fostered by members who clearly care deeply for each other as well as being welcoming to newcomers."
- "Audi Club events are so much better than any other club, I don't even like to do others anymore."
