but I haven't seen it posted on two places I expect to see R8 stuff - here and the TT forum :D

In any case, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju5uSOM3bZc">click</a> and enjoy

I like the perspective from this angle, but his driving would scare the heck out of me :D

[note: please take care of your R8's. I'll be in the market for your used one when you upgrade to a V10 if it ever comes :D]

video as it does show where Audi performance is strong (and weak) vs the porsche. Different turns have different dynamics that each car handles differently. Interesting seeing the R8 drift...only done that in the wet with my RS6 which is very interesting in a whale sliding sideways on all fours.

If that were the case, easing the throttle application a bit or applying the power a bit later will let the driver hold the line and maintain the speed. On the other hand, moving to aggressive track tires will allow the driver to keep doing that, applying power early and keeping foot planted :D
