[James Johnson]

I will have one please! The "lite" Version!

 

[Sérgio Marques]

Looks very nice!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Only under 120km/h. Hence, the only place they could really kick in the system is the high speed corners and the straights, where it wouldn't be much use.

I would say that in a R18 120km/h is a little less then medium speed corners

 

[Kol Bailey]

It's a beautiful car. That's for sure

 

[Peter Eckhardt]

Awesome car . Hope that someone make a skin for pcars Sim

 

[Kol Bailey]

Yeah, and rFactor 2!

 

[Kol Bailey]

I hope they do well.

 

[Kol Bailey]

This is an interesting change. Hopefully it will make the title fight close.

 

[Greg Carr]

Awesome car . Hope that someone make a skin for pcars Sim

Ask and you shall receive, just looked on the forum for pcars and the new Audi is there.

With regards to Audi, in the next couple years, Audi is set to start putting its e-Tron technology in cars that will be appearing in car dealerships. A test run is starting soon for the A3 e-Tron and the very first models will be here by 2014. Article source: Big push coming for Audi e-Tron line.

Next weekend is going to be busy!

 

[Georg Peklo]

Even though 30 cars are making a terrible entry list for an endurance race, I can´t wait for Sebring!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Motor racing is slowly resurrecting from the dead

I remember last year when Sebring was on, we watched a couple of hours, then did our own 2.4H race at Sebring in iRacing then watched the remaining hours after that
Was really nice
