I consider myself educated - and apologies for divulging info - I was not aware of these rules - ignorance is not a defence

That's the old 63 black edition, still command a 60-70k premium. Fantastic car

Graeme, did you launch control against the 63 Benz in you video?

Thanks Guy

No, not in that clip
It was a bit hit and miss today. A couple of times it just held the revs too high and then bogged down on the launch, so I found it easier to just left foot brake and then stomp to accelerator (as in the vid)

Got a few runs in my car, had a dual with Golfather but his C6 had too much once those turbos start blowing! But I took him out for a ride and I think he saw what the R8 package was all about.

Immense day indeed, last VMAX was pap compared to this!

Big thumbs up mate for showing me the light, the C6 may have the oopmh to go quick in a straight line, but no way is it any sort of match for the R8.
Your R8 V10 was simply awesome, the noise, the grip, the launch, the chuckability, the stopping power. The most fun Ive experienced in a long while!

Nxt motor for sure....kids can take the bus

Does anyone know when the official results get published ?
My speedo said one thing and the somewhat basic GPS app on my iPhone said another, so I'd be interested to know what the exact trap speeds were

There is no official results....

Here is my R8

Nice pic,
There's previously been speeds published for each event, for example ;

Or do you mean that just nothing was recorded yesterday ?
