Finally got the creds saved up tonight. About to give it a run straight off the premium lot, just an oil change and general tuning. Yessir.
 
That was my main car I used when I got it from the Collector's Edition. It's a really great car once it's fully upgraded. I later on parked it and used the V Spec GT-R and Zonda R mostly. Congrats on the buy.
 
Thanks, I just had my first race with the car. Like I said, only basic tuning adjustments with no upgrades. This car is a handful! It's a challenge and totally fun to drive. I'm sure it will be an absolute beast once I put a little money into it.
 
Just got my Audi R10 yesterday, figured it will be my choice for the longer enduros.

No mods, did the Suzuka 1000 today (all dry, thank you!!) won by 10 laps.
Did the Nurburgring 4 hour this evening, 3 laps ahead of an Amuse S2000.

Decided now to use it next for Tsukuba 9 hour - I'll grind the Nurburgring to level up some, but I want something closer to the Amuse in performance to make it more fun. Just bought another 430 Scuderia & modded it - you can change the wheels & paint them - will see if it can do the business!

Best lap for the R10 for me on the long Nurburgring track (G27 wheel / racing hard tyres / TC 3 / ABS 1) was a 7:53, got 4 laps from each set of tyres before they screamed enough. Screwed up a pit entry at one point and it drove me through without stopping - weird - moral is don't drive in too fast!! Then had to do an economy run lap with shredded rears which was a 9:05 :crazy:

The R10 is excellent, people have complained about the engine note but it's got a nice growl and being a diesel it revs low so feels nice & lazy to drive - ideal for enduros!! Enjoy your car!!
 
One thing that really annoys me about this car is its incredible tendency to change directions completely any time you hit a wall with any pace. It's very prone to go into a complete spin with any contact.
 
That picky Pit Lane crew not servicing your car if you come in a little "hot" is a real pain.

I was doing the Grand Valley 300 had shot tyres and overcooked my pit entry and came in sideways, Stupid Pit Crew waved me past. I was not impressed and had no desire to do another lap, so, not being a fan of Endurance Races at the best of times turned around and re-entered the pit lane "properly".
 
On flat circuits the R10 is fantastic (Le Mans, Suzuka, Grand Valley, Indy GP etc) but I always struggled with it on bumpier tracks like Nurburgring. It is a great car when you find a balance for it.

Fixed.

Oh by the way R10 sucks. :sly:

Hated every second I Drove it :sly:
 
R10 is my favorite car, it is a hand full around the Nurburgring but really isn't that bad at Le Mans since the worst part of that track is straight.
