ok, good speakers or headphones at the ready. Won't make any apologies for this not being an Audi but for anyone never having heard a c6r GT1 car, this is about the only clip i have seen which demonstrates the thunder these things make...and for scale the two Astons are NOT quiet lol

saw it yesterday at the Silverstone 1000km which unfortunately it's final outing due to reg changes RIP C6R

That is so awesome! I just love the "bark" of an American V8. What a phenomenal contrast to the highly strung Lola's (assume thats what they were).

Good vid!

Fantastic sounds and I was there experiencing it as well! I have heard John Hindhaugh saying he hopes that the regs won't mean the end of the Corvette sound ....yesterday we were also treated to a bit of Blue Oval grunt in the Saleen as well.

I'll be posting images from the race soon ....I took over 2000 pictures! Sadly my little video camera has decided not to play nicely so I've lost a few clips including the start of the race at the first corner where there was a little spin.

The race was so quick due to a total lack of incidents requiring the safety car ....the worst shunt actually happened after the chequered flag!

I was there running an SR8 Radical.
The Le Mans cars where fantastic! Serious money! Massive organisations.
Top flange promo girls!
Never seen so many teams/artics... they had not heard of the recission!

Did anyone think the prototype cars are tiny when you get up close?

How did you do on Sunday? I caught the end of the Radical race ....as for prototypes, well the last one I was involved with was still there this year ....the WF01, used to be Embassy WF01.

that Aston DB9R V8 was sounding amazing too and those LMP1 astons scream as such high revs they are amazing to contrast with the vette

I was running Chris Hyman,
He (get this) didn't have time to get there for quali on saturday so we started 37th. finished 9th. 3rd in class. He was chuffed.
Saturday was not good. He went from 37th to 12th in five laps. then hit a full SR8 exhaust system one of the leaders dropped! He had no chance, he was up the chuff of another car that jinked to miss it and so presented him with soon to be dead system!
Made a mess, but we changed the front bodywork/wheel lots of rape tape and out he went loosing 9 mins! Did three more laps and broke both outer cv joints at the splines. What do Radical expect when they are fiesta parts!!

I went to the Embassy sale. lovley piece of kit! bargain LMP cars!

I am completely with you on that the C6R is one of the greatest sounding race cars ever.

I just hope the GT2 version sounds as cool, since GT1 will no longer be factory run.
