So what are/were your thoughts on the Audi R8 based on your experience with the vehicle in GT prior to the recent 24hr Nurb 1-2 finish. How do you feel about it now that it's had that impressive finish?

Not one of my favorites before hand. Yes, its a very fast car with a lot of power. Able to dominate against most competition. Just doesn't feel right as a race car. Dosen't handle as well as some of the other race cars I've experienced in GT.

I will say this. Was disappointed with the lack of Porche especially since it has dominated at Nurb the past several years. Even gave the Lexus LFA a resonable shot because of it's excellent finish at Nurb last year.

That said will definitely give the R8's another shot.
 
Was an okay car before the race. Still an okay car after the race.
 
You cannot really compare the gt5 R8 to the 2012 N24 car the N24 was the Audi R8 LMS Ultra.
 
Was a little bit weary of the R8 before I learned a good tune/setup for it, now not so bad though, I am partial to the Standard R8 street car than the Premium, and duped alot of 2009 Birthday tickets to get a LMS R8 with a color chip.
 
We now need a premium version of the car that finished second, the PS Vita Audi R8 LMS Ultra.
 
The LMS? Yes, it's a good car in my opinion. A quick tune to make it oversteer a bit and you have a deadly racecar.

Always liked the R8 - AWD and better styling and sounding than the GTR.
