Video + Pics: 450 hp Audi RS4 and Porsche 911 Turbo X50 Techart on race track

We had a really interesting day yesterday at Gellerasen race track. Loads of cool cars ready to beat the track. The weather was interesting as well. A lot of wind and rain but nice enough to still enjoy driving.

Here's a series of shots from the video where an Audi RS4 with about 450 bhp (ACE Competition / Hohenester) is passed by a Porsche 911 Turbo X50 Techart. The RS4 reaches about 190 km/h on the straight and the Porsche around 220-230 km/h.
There's always someone faster than you around...
















The race is on!!!

Looks like the RS 4 driver is pushing it pretty hard. Hard braking leads to understeering already when going into the corner, correct? Hard do say how the Porsche made it through the corner but it's sure VERY fast on the straight!

As usual, a nice RS6(4).com video.

It's fast...

Erik,

Excellent video as always! Thumbs up.

Impressive performance from the RS4 though...Only loosing a few car lengths to the modified 996 Turbo, through the corner.

Interesting picture you have there. Because I can see the RS4 in the back ground taking a corner as the 996 Turbo shoots past in the foreground. Was that intentional?

Excellent work as always!

Thanks! It was not intentional, sometimes that split second works for you.

Was this RS4 at the VW Audi meet at Vålerbanen in Norway in june? One S4 ran a 1:04 lap there, thats as fast as the fastest Pug 206 cup cars run on SLICKS

Nice car, seems the driver knows his stuff too.
