Looks like Autometrix who did the VW / Audi Driver magazines and ran the 3 annual events of GTI International, VW Driver Day and Audi Driver Day, is no more - went into Administration back in February.

Oh dear.

Could see it coming really - stopped subscribing a while back as the magazines had more advertising than actual content.

Knew Inters 2019 was canned due to sale of Rockingham but did wonder why they weren’t on Castle Combe’s event list - now I know.

Guess VAG car events will be a bit thin this year as VAG Tuner has lost their Donington Park slot also.

I am not sure I would fancy driving Castle Combe again - Haldex (and clearly inherent driving skill!) probably saved my arse last October.

 

A Bedford Autodrome day is next for me - great track and nothing to hit!

I think what you mean is Audi driver is no more, RS3-Fest is STILL around :)

 

There are plenty other venues/events some of which are still at Castle Combe so open to suggestions for this years!!
