I drove the R8 on a track yesterday for about a dozen laps.

Blogged about it here.

Check out photos below

Very nice deadline, I'm looking forward to my Audi Driving Experience in September That's if they let me through the gates in bimmer

you doing the half day?

Only the introduction thing this time unfortunately, here's to hoping I can qualify as "most improved driver"

you'll still get to do autocross I think with the TT which isn't bad.

Damn.... I'm jealous deadline!

Just how good does that look?!

Finally an Audi that takes my breath away!

It's honestly gorgeous. Black being best but even in silver and the light blue it is stunning

Yeah, black is the best look for it. And the Audi silver is nice too

Not too sure abt the blue. Is it the same as the TT blue? I saw that... it's an atrocious colour!

it's the combo dek, mostly silver with the light blue highlights, it is very nice

Ohhhhhhh

oops

Hey, make sure you tell us abt your driving experience!

Driving experience is at the link above. the blue is a steely blue. Not sure if its the same as the TT though. It's pretty nice and there was a dark grey that was also striking.

Oh sorry, I should have specified - I was referring to peter

I read your report deadline... hehehehe I love the all-out enthusiasm! It's infectious

ah missed that. sorry. Peter keep us posted.

No worries

Yeah, peter!

will do!

yaaaaay!

I know there's a Porsche driving experience near here (Sydney) but it costs something like $2000..... I can barely save enough to fund my F1 trip to melb next year!

i've starting planning for montreal next year!!

Oh cool!

I just watched Episode 2 of Top Gear's latest season.

I'm in LOVE with the R8!!

Why has it got necklaces around the headlights?

they serve as eyeliner.... after all, the eyes are the window to the soul!

Oh my.... oh my....

OMFD!!!

I just drove/chased an R8 on the way home. It's brilliant!!!

ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH
 

IT sounds incredible, and it looks just gorgeous. Briliant. Absolutely brilliant.

On a high now
 

Ooooh... that sound!

I WANT ONE!!!!

And it's fast too. It kept out-accelerating the Evo X

Oh yeah... forgot to mention, the Evo and the R8 were racing, and I was the stalking roadie
 

How did the Madaz fare in the equation? Third?

hehehehe 3rd until the speed limit and then they backed off and dek winz

Soft. What's the point of excess horse power if it never goes under the whip.

That's what I thought! heheheh

Was on the good stretch of road too
