Technical inspection of your car by the Audi Club is not a guarantee by the club of your car’s track worthiness. You are responsible for your car. The purpose of the club’s technical inspection is to search for obvious vehicle shortcomings that would inevitably cause a delay in the event’s schedule.

The Audi Club strongly encourages all participants to have their vehicle serviced by a professional automobile service technician prior to attending the driving school.

Listed below are examples of items we look for when technically inspecting your car. We strongly encourage all participants to review this list as part of the pre-event servicing referenced above.
