    And I hardly think that a few respectable performances in the GTS class at Le Mans coupled to a few ALMS/ FIA GT wins is really on a par to the successes of Ferrari, Porsche et al
    Thanks for all the fish

    The wheel was inevitable though, so its hardly a fair comparison. It was Audi that invented Quattro, developed it for racing and stuck it in their cars. It was their doing that made everyone else realise the worth of AWD under normal cars and that the system could be tamed.

    Kinda like the rotary, if Mazda hadnt have stuck to their guns and keep developing it, we wouldnt have the RX-8 which has won awards across the globe

    dale earnheardt junior was fined $10,000 and 25 points for purposely spinning his car on the third lap, and another $10,000 and 25 points for saying his record at tallidega was "aint worth shit"

    buncha stupid hicks
    Looks like the judicial systems f**ked up over there as well, theyve just announced a huge revision of the CAMS judicial system for the V8 Supercars just before the last round of the season here.

    Fines like that make no sense at all: someones given the same punishment for a life threatening act, as they did for saying a few words? Try justifying that one

    In 1961 the Ferguson F1 won an F1 race, (not counting for the championship. In the late sixties a number of F1 car's (McLaren, Lotus) also experimented with 4WD.The same principles were then used by Audi for the Quattro development.
