Calling all A1 Owners and future owners… I am organising an A1OC meet, with a difference.

The venue: Rallye Sunseeker 2011, the first stage of the Rally Championship (not the WRC sadly!).

The special stage and motorfair at Somerley House on Saturday 26th Feb will this year be home to a great display of Audis of all ages. There will already be a couple of Audis competing in the various rally classes. At lunch there will be a demonstration run from some good friends in their rally prepped UR quattros. We can have a stand at the event right next to the UR quattro Owners club. I am also going to ask our friends at the TT Owners Club (if they want to) to have a stand.

Here’s a picture from last year as a teaser… 

I will be there, hopefully with something a little bit different provided by Poole Audi and so I have another 7 spaces on the A1OC stand. It would be great to get a display of different colours, specs, etc.

If you would like to be on the club stand then, I will require a contribution of £10 to the pitch costs. I am haggling with the organisers and so hopefully we can have some left over for some POS for future events. 

Normal tickets are between £25-38 each and so there is a great saving here. If any additional A1OC members, or A1-forum users would like to attend, in their A1, or another Audi – you can get discounted tickets through me of £17 per car. I might be able to get a stand extention if there are enough A1s. I’ll confirm everything very early next week, but if I could get an idea of who is up for this, I can try to reserve more space.

Further to my post over of the A1-Forum and my tweets, etc. I would like to confirm the date and details of the Audi A1 UK launch.

The Audi A1 will launch on Saturday 13th November 2010 at Battersea Power Station with entertainment from 9:30am until 4PM.

This will be a closed event where the only people invited will be:

• Approx 100 customers (1 from each dealer)
• Audi UK representatives collecting demonstrators
• Audi Dealer representatives collecting demonstrators and hosting guests

The only customers that will be eligible are ones that have a car that is due to be delivered before the end of the first week of November. Each dealer will be provided with a list of eligible customers and asked to select just one. this customer will be contacted by the dealer to complete paperwork, etc and given a 45 minute time slot for the Battersea event, dependant on their geographical location.

On arrival guests will be welcome to enjoy the entertainment and refreshments provided. There car will be presented to them at their time slot, where their salesman/handover specialist will go over controls, etc. Following that the customer will be given the opportunity to partake in an ‘Iconic City Tour’. This escorted drive takes around 30-minutes and takes in several sights of london.

Audi hope that the high level of entertainment provided and the atmosphere will be enough to keep everybody there until 4PM, where the event culmulates in a mass drive-away of upto 300 Audi A1s! This will no doubt be a day to remember and will once again get Audi UK in the papers. The dealer staff attending will bring back their demonstrators ready for the normal A1 launch.

The centre launch of the Audi A1 will take place the following weekend. This will be an opportunity for customers to collect their cars and for interested parties to experience and actually drive the cars.

Our local dealer, Poole Audi, will be getting 2 demonstrators for this event and 1, possibly 2 showroom cars, with the rest of their fleet arriving over the next few months.

I have more details here on the launch event and so will add more detail on the launch date of the Audi A1 Owners Club.
