RS2 racing

[Kramrs2]

Hi RS2 lovers,
My name is Mark and I live in Brazil. I’m a proud owner of a RS2 with about 370hp.
Last weekend occurred here a great endurance race called 31º 1000 Milhas de Interlagos.
It is a thousand mile race across the GP circuit of Interlagos in São Paulo.
Many famous drivers like Giaffone, Raul Boesel, Max Wilson, Bernoldi, Ricardo Maurício, and other participated in that race.
Besides Porsches GT3, BMW M3 GT-R, Subaru WRX-R and many race propose cars, there were an almost stock Audi S3 and an Audi RS2. In the S3, only a new front mounted intercooler, rollcage, break pads, and safety items were added. In the RS2 a weight loss program (windows and interior were removed and changed for race specs) and the motor changed to drink alcohol (a very popular fuel in Brazil, available in every gas station), a cooler and much “octaned” fuel.
In a grid with over 65 cars only 25 arrived in the end. The S3 took 18th and the RS2 15th after a little crash.
Six hours of twelve were in rain. Their best laps were 1:54.485 and 1:53.080, S3 and RS2 respectively. The winner Porsche did 1:42.433. But the RS2 team is amateur and the Porsche Team is a Le Mans class runner up. Ok, there was a little Corsa that did 1:50, but it has a 2.0 liter engine with over 240hp.

Best Regards
Mark
