Frank Stippler: I drive the RS4 at "7:58" around the 'ring
Article I found on another forum.
As you may know I drove the RS4 on Gotland Ring (Sweden) last Saturday. I then flew to N?rburgring, Germany, and was lucky enough to meet Frank Stippler (Audi DTM-driver) driving VIPs in teh new Audi RS4.
What a day! Lovely summer weather once the morning fog cleared.
According to F. Stippler he drive the Audi RS4 around the Nurbrugring in 7.58 with P Zero Corsa.
This is a very fast time!
27 seconds faster than the precious RS4 and 22 seconds faster than the M3 E46.

Unfortunately there was no possibility for me to get a passanger lap this time but the VIPs who did came back with eyes wide open. :bigeyes:
And as I was leaving and getting my rental car a Pagani Zonda parked beside it. Needless to say I stayed another 2 hours and witnessed Horst von Saurma drive the Ferrari F430 and the Pagani Zonda F for the supertest.
I spoke to the test driver / chief editor of sport auto Horst von Saurma about the RS4 time and he said that "7:58" is quite possible. However they will not test it until the spring.
