Apart from the music, one of the better Audi movies I have seen lately. Will you improve the front of the car over time to improve streamline, or is it fine like it is?

Will change to SQ front grill and bonnet only.
Also there is in the plans front splitter.

Now the biggest issue is steering racks shaft movement to front/rear while turning wheels with hot tyres..

front steering arms with spherical bearings:

power steering pump from Merc A class:


painted all the discs to monitor brake disk temp:


dual Bosch 044 setup:


removed engine head after engine break in to see "what's going on there.."


and then resembled it back:

I like your bump steer solution.
How about the power steering pump, is it made to be speed-dependent or is it simply on/off?

At the moment it is on/off switch, I can wire it to engine ECU and ECU will give it signal to showdown from certain speed, but there is no need.. The most important not forget to switch it off, to save battery...

few fast laps at our bumpy track (Nemuno Ziedas, Kacergine) onboard video with Toyo R888, still not ideal setup of suspension..

runing low boost 1,35bar ~520bhp, 500Nm.

You can say bumpy again... damn!
It looks like it is a bit abandoned track? Not that much gardrails, grass next to the tarmac.
Nice video!

[nervas]

it's not abandoned track but they don't do anything with it...
