Talking Pics: Race of the Year (RS6, E55 AMG, 996 Techart etc.)

Gellerasen, Karlskoga. Sweden. Race of the Year 2004.

3 hours long distance race in race prepped Chrysler Neons (138 hp!) as well as racing our own cars.

Team Oki takes the first place in front of Team Böse (means "angry" in German, after the visit to RUF) a.k.a. Team RS6.com.
We're only 32 secons behind in 3 hours.
Cold weather, not good for the tires. Lap times around 1.28-1.30. Best laptime 1.26,6.

The driving with our own cars was mainly for fun, not trying to break any records as you can see

Note the tire when the Beast is pushed.



Audi RS6 hunting E55 AMG ("The Pig") in Eje's bend.




The E55 AMG doing some massage to the winter tires
The summer tires got burnt last week...




SUCK MEIN AUSPUFF!!!




Drifting is always funny :v



Porsche 996 Turbo Techart, followed by an E55 AMG and RS6





Team BÖSE, a.k.a Team RS6.com



Lifting inner wheels is macho



Racing at Karlskoga in the Chrysler Neons. All cars have the same specification.



Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed the pics

great pics!
must be fun to see/drive those two beasts on the track next to eachother.
Don't the tires of the rs6 suffer alot under those high stress turns?
How much do you inflate them?
the E55 must be a joy to oversteer with. (the movie with the burnout of the E55, from rs6.com/forum, was it here?)

thx for charing!

Cornering on 3 wheels in a Neon must give you 'butterflies'

Thanks! The video is from earlier.

Most of the pics are not "normal" track driving, just for show.
But yes, managed to wear down P Zero Rossos in 3000 km, mainly track driving.
