Audi plans to set up driving academy in India

More and more car manufacturers of late seem to launch their own driving academy in the country. One such latest entrant is the Audi India, where the test drives will be offered on the range of Audi cars. The luxury car manufacturer is more ready than ever before with its select few instructors chosen particularly to handle the training sessions. The German car manufacturer hopes to build a good rapport with their prospective customers during the 30 day sessions scheduled for a year.  Moreover, there is a good news for the motorsports lovers from Audi this time.

In the same lines of the recently concluded Volkswagen Polo Cup, Audi India is most likely to host an S4 Cup probably during next year. Looks like, we are going to have two motorsports events from different car manufacturers during 2012. The Japaense auto giant, Toyota Motors also mentioned their plans to host their very own Toyota Etios Cup next year. Audi India has taken great pains in choosing the right kind of instructors for their academy. Top speed is just another factor, while the instructors were chosen on a wide range of areas. The communication skills, the availability of the instructor, approachability were the other grounds where the instructors were tested on. So, now, Audi is ready with its own team of instructors where Gaurav Dalal, Rohitaaz Kumar, Prithveen Rajan and Aditya Patel are the chosen ones. Aditya Patel must ring a bell with few who carries the fame of the Scirocco Cup behind his back.

From what we see, the Audi A4 and Audi A6 sedans were used to carry this rigorous task to find the right instructors. This gives us enough hint to assume that the sportscar version of the same Audi A4 will be used at the rally. One cannot make a blunder of dropping out the Audi R8 super car out of the equation, which makes more sense than not, to take part in the sports car rally. Motor-sporting is the recently developed craze in India. Not until the recent F1 race have we seen such undivided interest at the sport. There are a list of car manufacturers who seem to make the most of this recently acquired hobby. Toyota Motors, British sports car manufacturer Caterham, and Ferrari are few who have already shown their interests in launching their own driving academy.
