• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

Audi testing the R18 at high speed.

Driving round Monza with the first chicane removed, meaning the R18 Diesel is taking the 'Curva Grande' at 330-340 kph.......
BTW they are testing a new body with a slightly longer tail for upcoming events at Spa and Le Mans.


Somehow it sounds like a cross between an older F1 car and a jet fighter..
 
Very impressive Ferry, very fast and stable, perhaps F1 should run the same layout!!!
Unfortunately that is the 'Fugliest' car I've seen for decades.
And I mean 'Fugly!'!!
:icon_eek:
 
Maybe not the prettiest car around, but the engineering is very impressive. Audi have basically dominated the Le Mans 24 hour race since 2000, with one victory going to Bentley (Which basically still was an Audi but with a roof) and once (2009) Peugeot took the win.

First Diesel win, first hybrid win and eleven victories in twelve years.. I hope Toyota will put up more of a fight than they did last year, especially now that Peugeot retired.
