The Audi Driving Experience is a national racing-track-based driving tuition and education program initiated by Audi in 1983. Its aim is to educate drivers through both theoretical lessons and practical "hands-on" tuition, primarily focusing on the complexities of modern powertrains and chassis electronics found in virtually all of today's cars, with an emphasis on Audi vehicles.

The Audi Driving Experience includes emergency maneuvers using Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) systems, theory and practice of safe high-speed handling, and demonstrates and educates the abilities of Audi's trademark Quattro four-wheel drive system. These activities are all carried off away from public roads and highways.

AUDI AG provides all of the vehicles at each facility.
