    You can see in the movie that the stig sits on the wrong side of the car.
    He have to look down to see in what manual gear he is in.
    With a R-Tronic he would probably faster to that fact.

    I've seen other laps where the R8 V10 is within 0.5s of a 997.2 GT3 over the same timeframe.

    i call do-over.

    he was looking down too much and for him to do that makes him look like he's really uncomfortable.

    it didnt look so solid of a test lap.

    well of course.. thanks for pointing that out.
    thats what happens when I'm browsing rs6.com late at night looking at all the "candy" when I really should have been in bed dreaming my 5th or 6th dream (the one with the cool audi in it ) hehe


    we will have to wait and find out!

    He won in 2006 and 2007; Loeb won last year.

    I think kju's mistake might be down to the fact that Schumacher (with Vettel) won the team award for the third year running.

    I'm looking forward to see the whole test of the V10 at Top Gear.
