Massive thanks to AMD Essex, Shaun and the guys....tip top team.
Gave me a few free sessions at Prept @ Brands Hatch on Sat,
The R8 was the quickest thing by miles! I actually lapped a V10 M6 which set off behind me in one of the sessions!

Contrasting black and red does look good.
Clearly the M 6 driver was clueless !!

Yeah, I think they were all clueless tbh.
Even that 996 GT3 in the pics was stupid slow...
Tbf, it was only taster sessions, not a full on OPL day.

What is the stickered thing in front of you in first pic
I managed to get on a novice day at the end of last year because a friend wanted to take his 911 around.
They originally said I couldn't because I'd done so many but they gave in and let me on anyway

How does the robot-tronic compare against manual labour?

The robot tronic comes into its own on track...much better to have both hands on the wheel all the time in a car that moves around as much as the R8.
I prefer the manual for the road (excluding traffic off course!)

I think it's the ex-BTCC Golf run by AMD
Car looks great DK, I think the Red/Black works much better with the supercar scheme. I wish they made early R8 v8's in brighter colours so I could trade up from the RS4, but the usual white/grey/silver/black options aren't lairy enough for me.

Yes it was their BTCC golf...was driven slowly thou.
So many people have commented on how well the red looks.
I agree, too little choice in colour on used R8's...

Red could be the new white?
Most of the Audi demos in the C7 RS6 are red.
Look great with optics/Titan wheels
