’ChargingAnnual Awards
the V8
Every year, the readers of Audi Driver
magazine vote online for the individuals,
companies and clubs which they believe
have contributed most successfully to
the world of Audi motoring…
The complete list of nominations,
throughout the many different categories,
is assessed and – by counting the
considerable number of votes registered
against each one – we are able to decide
on the individuals or leading companies
in each category.
Suitable allocations of Gold and
Silver awards are made, although in
some cases, where the margins are
narrow, more than one award of each
type is made in each category and
in this event the entries are listed in
alphabetical order.
The presentation of awards took place
at a gala dinner at the Hilton Hotel in
Swindon, which rounded off Audi Driver
International 2014 on Saturday October 11.
This year the ballroom was packed with
more than 180 guests drawn from the Audi
Centres, independent specialists, clubs and
individual Audi enthusiasts.
Special guests for the evening were
Jon Zammett, head of the Audi UK PR
Department, who presented awards to the
Audi Centres, David Ingram who has only
recently retired from the PR department
after many years and was presented with
the award for Audi Personality of the Year,
motorsport journalist Brian Laban who
presented awards to the independent
specialists and Norman Gault who
presented the club awards.
