Race Car Talk

This July, the Goodwood Festival of speed will be started once again. This year the Audi will take honors with World Debut of the replica of its 1939 Auto Union ‘Silverarrow’ Type D.

Pink Floyd drummer, Nick Mason and European counterpart of ‘car nut’ Jay Leno, will be one to present the old time through their maiden drive on 11th July. The Audi and U.K. based Crosthwaite and Gardiner took 4-years to replicate 2-time Grand Prix winning car.

We are delighted that we now have this car in our collection. And where better to give it its first outing than in the UK? We believe that this gesture is a fitting tribute to the people whose unique craftsmanship has brought this extraordinary car back to life.

- Thomas Frank (Head of Audi Tradition) commented.

I must have done something right last year if Audi Tradition is now prepared to let me take to the wheel for this maiden trip. But seriously, it’s a huge honour, which I sincerely appreciate.

- Nick Mason said.
