A rough out. Would need 29 8s. The OC could be done by the owners holding a white card above their heads!

Update on the meet:

We have invited Audi Driver magazine and they may have someone cover the event.

Audi UK have been contacted and we are waiting a reply.

BP have been contacted to ask if they will send their A8 used for the fuel tests.

There may be others...... You never know.

If you don't have any luck with Audi UK, let me know, I have known the head of events there since I was 11/12, he was in charge of my special VIP day at the Audi Driving Experience for being such a big fan of the brand then! Although I haven't contacted him in a while. He may be able to sort something out

Good that you have a contact on the inside. I was trying to get hold of Audi TV - (Northone) as its surely something they would cover, but no one has come back yet (other than someone at Audi telling me to contact Northone!)
