I went to the Audi Driving Experience on the TT-track in Assen. 8) Focused mainly on driving, but also managed to snap a few pics:

Very cool.

Was this a promotional thing for the S5? Or did you pay for this day at the track?

Either way, loving these panoramic shots. the A5 never looked so good.

I went to the press-day on tuesday. Wednesday and thursday are for 'regular people' and cost €795 a day! :shock:

[dutchmasterflex]

lucky you :) its amazing how expensive a day at the track can be under someone elses insurance can be.

[Skaala]

lucky you martin!, I haven't heard anything about an own S5 driving experience here in Norway yet, but I'm hoping :)

Sounds like it was a blast! And I love the pictures, it looks as though they came straight out of a brochure for the S5.

So how did the car feel on the track? Assen is the MotoGP circuit right?

[gangajas]

Fantastic pictures. Did you liked the car?

[MartijnGizmo]

The car is nice, although a bit heavy. Understeer comes in a lot later than I expected and the V8 is more rev-happy than you'd think. I got surprised by the rev-limiter a few times at the exit of fast 2nd and 3rd gear corners. It was idd on the MotoGP-track and the German driving-instructors encouraged us to push it quite hard. 8)

I like the new Audi S5, especially with this nice red livery. :good:

Thanks Martijn for those nice shots. You are lucky to have drove one at this cool Audi experience. :D

[Smartdriver]

I love your panning shots! Great! :good:

Beautiful pics MArtin
few questions
What lenses you have used for 2, 3 and 5 pics ?

[MartijnGizmo]

2, 3 aqnd 5 were shot with a 35/1.4. I only took that 35 and my 135/2 with me, didn't feel like carying a lot.

Wow these pics are awesome. Do you have some High-Res for us ?
The new S5 is really incredible.

Thanks

Must have been nice, and the pics are cool! I love that menacing sky!

[Z3uS]

Fantastic pictures, mate! I like "dark feeling" pics like those :)

[SilviaEvo]

the pics are brilliant and it seems like you had a good time out there~!

[Wutputt]

Must have been a great experience. My favourite pic is #9, because of the angle and the dark sky
