Pre-schoolers learn road safety with Audi

To help keep children safe on the roads, Audi Singapore will be launching a road safety programme this year for pre-schoolers aged between five and six. The ‘Audi Future Drivers’ programme is in partnership with Pat’s Schoolhouse and aims to educate over 900 children across its 16 centres in Singapore.

The programme begins next month and will see these children undergo a hands-on session in several aspects of road safety through a fun and role-play learning environment. These include being guided how to drive safely using Audi R8 mini-electric cars on an interactive course, understanding how to use the road wisely and identifying traffic signs.

“As an automotive brand, it is only natural for us to pave the way to cultivating a safer and better road culture for everyone. Audi is committed to road safety. We believe that an education on road safety should begin from a very early age to create more responsible drivers in the future. Through this initiative, Audi is committed to taking the first step in guiding children to being vigilant and independent on the road,” says Mr. Jeff Mannering, Managing Director, Audi Singapore.

Commenting on the programme, Ms. Julia Teo, Deputy Director of Operations at Pat’s Schoolhouse says, “We have always inculcated a hands-on approach to teaching our children practical skills that will not only take them through their early years, but through life. This includes road safety which is taught at the Kindergarten level. Participating in the ‘Audi Future Drivers’ programme is excellent because this complements our philosophy of allowing children to learn beyond the classroom setting, in an experiential way, while within a safe environment.”

Audi sets emotions racing at the first-ever Audi Sport Driving Experience
Whilst Audi is certainly no stranger in letting their customers sample their cars at various driving events, this is the first time the automaker from Ingolstadt has organised the Audi Sport Driving Experience. The event, which will be held from the 13th to 22nd of May, will be headlined by the all-new Audi R8. As the event focuses on the overall driving experience, this is definitely a fitting way to introduce the R8 to Singapore, for the car has been fitted with the world’s first “Emotion Dashboard” that measures a driver’s excitement level when they are behind the wheel.  The sophisticated technology measures your heart rate and skin moisture levels, showing how the body reacts to the most thrilling drive. However, the R8 isn’t the only thing the German Automaker is pulling the wraps off of - the event also marks the launch of Audi Sport, which represents Audi Singapore’s iconic performance-focused S, RS and R models under one banner. To tailor to customer needs effectively, Audi Sport is supported by other initiatives such as a specialised team to ensure optimum performance and maintenance, as well as an Audi Sport reception at the Audi Service Centre.

Audi launches 2016 LMP1 Challenger
The chaps over at Audi Sport have spent the off-season developing their 2016 WEC challenger. Officially dubbed the Audi R18, the 2016 car has almost nothing in common with the car they fielded in 2015. The most significant updates include a more aggressive aero package, which includes a new safety cell. Audi also fitted a new battery-operated hybrid drive system, along with a heavily reworked V6 TDI powerplant. To accompany the shiny new bits in the drivetrain department, Audi also redid the electronics to match. The end result? A more capable racing machine that can produce more than 1000 hp, whilst using 10% less fuel than any of the cars it succeeds.  Why would any firm alter a relatively good package so dramatically though? Well, as regulations in the WEC are relatively open, manufacturers are allowed to do pretty much whatever they desire, hence, the development race is a very heated one. The FIA WEC regulations have been providing automobile manufacturers with incentives to build increasingly efficient race cars since 2014. Starting in the 2016 season, this competition will intensify, as the upper limit for fuel consumption will considerably decrease by 10 megajoules per lap at Le Mans. “The result is a race car that manages energy even more effectively than before.
