    It was filmed at Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) in Sonoma CA. This is where the Audi Experience is head-quartered.

    There was another recent posting with Alan McNish driving an R-Tronic V10 ...I can no longer find it but it was filmed from inside the car and McNish was demonstrating the "advantages" of R-Tronic and some subsequent posters commented on the "head snap" of the passenger at each gear change.

    Think Michael Schumaker has tested in an R8 ?? It's nice to hear what the Experienced/Pros, think about any of the latest models.

    I'm glad to see that even the very best pros hit the rev limiter occasionally - I was worried I was the only one...
