Default News from VIR - In the right hands TT can be a giant-killer...
Just got back from my Audi Day at Virginia International Raceway. Spent ALL DAY tracking my TT with about 50 owners of various Audi models. I had Peter Krause-famous Racing school trainer take my 225 QC on a dozen lap romp on the track (with me riding) and he took delight in chasing down and passing S4s, S5s and such - even closed in on an R8. Amazing. I'll post photos and vids after editing!

Just take some work. You'll have downtime between sessions.

Default Sounds like my gf's experience in her Miata with Randy Pobst at the wheel.. chasing down P-cars
in a 100 hp Automatic Miata... A great driver in a lower hp car can overcome the power difference. Looking forward to the vids...
