It does look like Gary Paffett's car, and if it is it's only about 2 or 3 years old, not a bad buy I guess.
I was given a short ride ( equipment was on the track - couldn't go full bore) when I went to Nurburing DTM race in summer 06' as part of winning AMG Private Lounge contest.

You can purchase a ride in a DTM "Taxi" for about 1000 euros. I was working with Abt Sportsline (Audi factory DTM team) and was in Germany in '05 and '06 and got a chance to see these DTM cars first hand. The technology is incredible and the aerodynamics is on par with what F1 uses.

This is a VERY rare opportunity indeed....and for a most worthy cause.

My experience in the DTM was in Barcelona. I remember it like it was yesterday...

The DTM driver wasn't really trying.

He got stuck behind that nasty orange colored compact crapbox and let the lambo pass.

Pay attention to the the couple of times on the video where both of them are in the straights and on the throttle, the DTM is walking away from the Lambo like it was parked.
