So Audi R8's can fly?

Videos might circulate at some point

Competition Audi R8 2L turbo on a normal track day, almost certainly the fastest car on the track.

Clipped a Caterham joining the track, hit the armco and did some aerobatics.

Expensive day out!

Is that castle Combe? That's a long way to end up if he clipped the caterham at pit exit!

I don't have a magnifying glass... do you have any smaller photos so that I can use my microscope?

They're a little bigger if you remove your head from your rectum.

Such risky business tracking your car.

Such a lovely machine what a waste

Can't really tell what I'm looking at. :confused:

Sounds horrendous though!

Ouch hate to think what the total damage is :/

I can't see any pictures of the Caterham- it might be ok?

2L? Thought they were 5.2L?

Didn't speak to the team, guessing it's a regulation for the race series?

The Caterham lost nearside wheel arches only, he was very lucky and drove away from it.

Photo taken from the Paddock, didn't want to walk around to take a closer look

Audi must be a feather weight if it came off worse than the Caterham

The number plate certainly says 2.0T.

Seems an odd choice of car to pull a V8 or V10 from and replace with what would be an inline 4?
