    Thumbs up The staggering difference in power with some 100 more HP

    Found these neat Youtube vids of an Audi R8 group in France with a few track day laps.

    The first video is in the V8 which can keep up with the V10 during the turns as expected, but the extra legs on the V10 really shows in the straights. Some spots the V10 is so far ahead it's a dot, but both close on each other before the chicanes.

    The second is from the V10's POV. You can see it eating everything in its path with that extra power. *TURN DOWN your volume as the wind noise is high before clicking link*

    The third is more track day fun with V8s and 10s in the mix.

    And to finish it off, attacking the Green Hell.

    He has more on his channel so enjoy!

    It's finally nice to see some great proper track day fun where they go all out.

    (Stella Polare, you know any of these guys?)

    EDIT: After seeing another vid, this must be my favorite! Can the underdog V8 fend off a triple attack of hungry V10s and keep them at bay? Make sure you watch right to the end!
