Team Cadillac hit the Streets of St Petersburg this weekend for rounds 1 and 2 of the Pirelli World Challenge race season on a quest to defend our 2012 Championship. We faced some stiff competition from new entries from Porsche and Audi and the always fast team from Volvo. The first race saw Team Cadillac start in the 5th and 6th spots and when the checkered flag waived Johnny O'Connell (#3) moved up to 4th and Andy Pilgrim (#8) moved to the 5th spot. After the race it was determined that the Porsche failed the tech inspection with a front splitter that didn't conform to series rules and it was disqualified moving Team Cadillac Driver's to 3rd and 4th positions and our first podium of the year. Race 2 began with Johnny O'Connell starting in the 5th spot and teammate Andy Pilgrim in the 7th spot. The Volvos jumped out to an early lead closely followed by Audi (Sofronas) and Porsche (Dalziel). As the race progressed the Porsche of Dalziel sat in 3rd spot when he had an on track incident causing a flat tire and he dropped from contention. Then pole sitter and race leader Alex figge (Volvo) had brake and tire problems and dropped out of the running. The race finished with Audi in 1st followed by Volvo and Cadillac (O'Connell) providing Cadillac it's second podium of the 2013 season. Overall a solid start to the season against a very competitive field. Team Cadillac takes to the track next April 19-22 on the Streets of Long Beach. The race will be streamed live @ world-challengetv.com.

Audi Wesley Chapel Takes National Spotlight

A major award for the Tampa Bay Area’s newest high-tech Audi dealer: Just one year after opening, Audi Wesley Chapel has earned the Magna Society Elite award. This is the highest possible honor bestowed by Audi of America, and amongst Audi of America’ network of nearly 300 dealers nationwide, only 16 are designated “Best of the Best”. To earn Magna Society Elite, a dealer must consistently demonstrate a world class level of guest service, as well as deliver industry leading business performance. Audi Wesley Chapel is the only Audi dealer in Florida, and one of just 4 Audi dealerships in the Southeast United States and to take home this highest honor. The superior achievement is a thrill and an honor for the innovative experts who have set out to shake up the luxury automotive market on Florida’s west coast.

A member of the 95 year old Tampa Bay based Dimmitt Automotive Group, Audi Wesley Chapel opened the doors on a stunning new 40,000-square foot location at 2500 Lajuana Boulevard in Wesley Chapel in November of 2017. The ultra-modern facility resembles a sparkling glass contemporary art gallery. Its appearance signals Audi Wesley Chapel’s progressive and revolutionary approach to connecting guests to the vehicle of their dreams. Customers and Audi Brand Specialist are armed with iPads as they roam the open-concept facility. This leaves them free to peruse the large selection of exciting Audi products, as well as access to information on everything from vehicle features and options, to data on competitive makes and models. The entire transaction is conducted on the computer table…no more paperwork or back and forth to the manager’s offices, just transparency in a guest driven experience. “We are deeply honored to have received this prestigious recognition from Audi of America during our first year in business. All credit goes to our awesome team of committed associates. They demonstrate the highest level of professionalism every single day” says Dimmitt CEO Scott Larguier.
