A picture is worth a thousand words:
I've always been a fan of the German ROC (Race of Champions) series. Reminiscent of the old IROC series here in the US, but with some twists. And now with the Audi R8 LMS (now in my top 5 car list) as one of the stars of the show; it's a must see.
“We’re happy that the world’s best race and rally drivers will also be seen in the Audi R8 LMS,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. “In the hands of our customers the GT3 sports car has proved its racing capabilities by clinching 60 victories and five title wins in just 24 months. The model has also provided the expected commercial impulses. The customer sport program has long become the desired third pillar of Audi’s motorsport strategy...."
This machine is making waves everywhere. Aside from drop-dead good looks, it seems to be a capable competition platform.
Audi R8 LMS success!

“For the Audi R8 LMS, this race represented a final test under extreme conditions on the world’s longest race track,” said Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. “We were able to demonstrate that our new GT3 sports car is absolutely competitive for customer sport. And the number 97 R8 LMS ran without the slightest problems despite the incredible speed.”
Oh yeah! There's more!!
