    Oh yes you do.

    I will copy-paste the text of our report that was published on Historic Motor Racing News, and leave you with a link to some of the photos I did for it.
    There are a bunch that I have not posted yet, but will do, soon.
    The words are from my friend Ruben Pedro.


    Photos here.

    Edit: The text is too long and I noticed it wasn't published on their website so I'll just send it to you.

    Never did before.
    You're welcome.
    That GTA was very nice looking and very fast on the straights, not so much on the corners in comparison with the Lotus.

    Nice pics.

    The Audi Coupe brings back memories...I bought a new one that color in 1981.

    A year later did that same track day and passed the same Audi a couple of times with my humble and poorly driven Miata, which must mean the driver doesn´t like to push it too hard. That's probably why it looks like new.

    strange , I think the car is almost as weighty as the Lotus the minimum is 750 kg, isn't it?

    I guess so and I don't think the issue was on the weight. I think the car is very well prepared because it was pulling very fast out of the corners. I have no idea if it was down on pace because of the human factor or if the car was less agile on cornering. Tha fact is that in terms of power it was very strong.

    Hey Faksta! This was a post on request. But I'm always around.
