That car is SICK. They were able to shave 1300 pounds off the beast. Everything was carbon fibre.
And it sounded BEASTLY.

Mike Galati was driving it around the track, but I'm pretty sure he lost control a few times.

I'll post a review of Daytona later. Let's just say, the RS4 was made for a track like that. 34 degree banking is insanely fun.

Default I got to ride in that car last year at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah

Amazing car! I can only imagine how that banking would feel in a car like that.

Looking forward to your review of Daytona...

Default That is a cool car... but did they actually call it a DTM? Real DTM is a very different beast.

Tube chassis, nothing stock but logos, driver sits in the back seat... they go a billion miles per hour.

It wasn't a DTM car. It was built for the Speed World Challenge but never entered.

Default Promise it's coming... just need to find a few minutes

Basically since the start of the month, I've been running on empty with no down time. Always somewhere to be, someone to meet with, some track to drive ...

I'll try and crank it out on the plane ride to Vegas tomorrow.

My sister is getting married, so I figured it would be a good idea to show up!!
