    Video Of S4 V8 On Track

    Hello,

    My name is Sergio, I am from Madrid, Spain. Ihave founded this website by surfing in the net. I had a BMW M3 until its engine "literally" exploded and had a very serious accident. So i decided to buy a S4 V8 which will be delievered by the end of September (sedan, Ebony Black).
    Last weekend, i went to Barcelona invited by Audi Spain. They had at least 10 audi Avants, and i was within one of them:

    Sad to hear about your accident. Glad to welcome you to RS6.com!

    That is a VERY nice video everyone should see!
    I like that relaxed spanish way of driving...
    NEVER seen an Audi oversteer so much! Who said Audis can't oversteer!

    Downloading worked fine for me, had ~52 kb/s all the time. Not slow at all.

    By the way, great video, simply adore the S4. :trash: :s4addict:

    Thanks for the video!

    The method used by the driver was called (If I remember correctly) "The Rally Flick". It's the same technique used by Rally drivers all over the world. It's a good way to counter balance the car's weight to literally throw the car into an oversteering bullet.

    It's cool oversteering, it looks good but it isn't always the quickest to take corners, although it's prefered more than understeer for younger drivers, while older drivers would prefer understeer to oversteer.

    Thanks again for the video, it looks like fun.

    So cool!

    Those rally flicks were great (but not too fast though ), and that driver sure knew what he was doing. Thank you for sharing those videos.
