Joe Hoppen Motorsport did not 'race' the 525bhp RS4 in the US - they dragged it round the country, allowing it to get more and more tatty. Mike Hoppen didn't have a clue as to how to drive it, more of a demarketing exercise than anything else. Bit sad really.
If you have an RS4 in the US, don't expect Hoppen to be able to help you, they can't even install a chip upgrade properly. Bit sad really.
Be warned!
The Champion Racing RS6 will be interesting to see, the race series it is entered in is very low key compared to the DTM or BTCC, so not too much has to be done to the engine.

2.32bar boost and only 510bhp [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] also the rpm for bhp and torque doesn't seem to follow what you would expect. Be interesting to see a plot for that.
