uh what are you talking about? audi(R8) is doing fine in ALMS...

this is the RS6's first year racing. YOu have to understand that development and testing on a new chassis takes time. Champion only got those cars a few months prior to the first race so it's not like they had a lot of time/oppertunity to test/tune the cars. Wait till next year.

Weight and tires. Wish they were still running the S4s.

It's a brand new car - the M3's are running perfect too!

Tires

The RS6's (at least Pobst) ususally lead the first half of the race. The car is heavy and as the tires start to go, they lose the lead to the BMW's. Furthermore, in Atlanta, the BMWs were allowed to run rain tires while everyone else ran regular tires. Audi protested, but lost. Finally, it is a new car and they are working out the bugs.
