R8 gt3

[madjurgen]

"Audi’s motorsport division has announced plans to launch a 500hp-plus (373kW) version of the R8 for use in next year’s GT3 series. The new car has been designed for private customer teams and fully conforms to the production-based GT3 regulations, which means they will be allowable in numerous national and international competitions..."

ALMS should get really interesting with the M3 and now this R8.

EDIT: Its not entirely clear if it will be allowed in the ALMS series now that I read some more. Although there are some modified GT3 spec Aston's racing in ALMS, so there's hope.

I was in front of a standard R8 a couple weeks ago. he saw me staring in the mirrors and then he threw the LEDs on under the headlights.

As much as I hate Audi's (after having to work on them..) I cannot wait to see one of those in the paddock!

I really hope I get invited to do another drift demo at the next St.Petersburg ALMS/Indy GP to see this thing in person. :D

damn that thing is sweet.

If it does make it to ALMS, I wonder if it would be in GT2 or GT1.

[itsbrokeagain]

looks like it would be picking a fight with the M3...and I think thats going into GT2 with the Flying Lizards GT3 RS's and the Ferraris..
