Well, I never saw any spy shots done in Poffader area in the press! If it’s an Audi secret test track, we should only see VAG cars in that desert and no-fly zone area… and no Beemer (which should be spotted not far from Nieuwoudtville), Chrysler and so on…

Oh yes and I forgot to mention the cars we passed were covered in black tape. Exactly like you see in spy shots. If you love road trips go on that road. You will see some interesting vehicles on that road if you are lucky

This is not just Audi’s test track but it is the most secret test track in the world! All European cars are being tested there because of the weather. Hot and humid and can also be very cold. Look at the buildings and you will see that there is black lines covering the buildings. Not even the pentagon has the luxury of blacking it out of Google maps. The road next to the track has no speed limit. That is if you have a permit then you are allowed to do 250 kph or more. This road is a hotspot for spyshots of new cars. An episode of Lat Wiel proofed this by actually trying this and after being spotted were chased down by test drivers. Its also a no fly zone and you can try to get any info about this track and you will fail. The entrance is a small farm gate that simply says private. I believe Audi gained ownership in 2007 but are still used by other manufactures. We passed a 7series bmw and an chrysler 300c a few years back on our way to Pofadder. Thats the N14 from Kakamas to Pofadder. Its simply amazing that one track can be this secret

Did Group Five remove the page with the details to protect Audi’s secret?

R18.3-million on track resurfacing definitely convinces me…
