Every year since 1997, Lord March has surprised us all with ever more vast and spectacular centerpieces for the Festival of Speed at his home, Goodwood House in West Sussex. For 2009 the latest sculptural 'monument' will be unveiled for the start of the three day Festival (3 to 5 July), which is likely to entertain a record number of 130,000 visitors for this year.

It's all in the family. No, not the 70's sitcom starring Archie Bunker. I'm not even referring specifically to the Audizine family. I am talking about the influence one's own flesh-and-blood can have on their car addiction. Most of us probably have some recollection of the cars that our father (or mother) drove and tinkered with when we were growing up. Some might have older brothers (or sisters) that were into cars. The lucky ones have family that are still into tuning, that support their habit, and that may even help them work on their cars. If you grew up in a family that actually owned an automotive shop and had some of their vehicles featured in magazines back in the day, then odds are pretty good that you'll follow in similar footsteps. That leads me to Jay, his 2008 A3 Sportback, and our June 2009 Featured AZ'er.

There aren't very many 'good' reasons one should crawl out of a warm cozy bed early in the morning, especially when it's damp and chilly outside. Heading to a racetrack to test out a handful of various Audis, however, is one of those good reasons. That's exactly what lay in store for me on this day, as the sun began trying to peak out from behind the rain clouds over Sonoma California. Stéphane (AKA: Avantéix) and I were about to head to a true gem for us Audi enthusiasts, where nestled upon a hill overlooking Turn 1 at Infineon Raceway (AKA: Sears Point) sits the Audi Forum Sonoma. It is situated just next to - and partnered with - the famed Jim Russell Racing Drivers School and it's home to the Audi Sportscar Experience. Here, anyone over the age of 21 and a ticket to enter can partake in a number of different driving courses. The options range in length, price, and types of vehicles driven. On this day we were here for the S-Model Plus One-Day Program which puts you behind the wheel of everything from the new TTS to the big V10 powered S8. It's basically up to you as to which of Audi's S cars you want to wring out.
