Test #2 - And Pete, still wondering where you are.

stuny · 07/14/08, 02:30 PM

This is a partial rear view of a 21st century racing car. I suspect Neil or Pete will be among those who can identify it. As with Test #1 I'll add photos if people have difficulty identifying it. This car, too, is European.

m_opel · 07/14/08, 02:58 PM

I'd say... Audi R8R?

stuny · 07/14/08, 10:27 PM

Michael -

A good start, but no. Have a look at this:

ddp · 07/14/08, 10:44 PM

Well...to me it certainly looks pre R10 TDI, i would have guessed R8 as well.

stuny · 07/15/08, 12:21 AM

Dan -

Much closer.

TONTONTINTIN.123 · 07/15/08, 12:58 AM

DKW ? Auto-Union ?

stuny · 07/15/08, 02:17 AM

Martin -

That's astonishing. You guessed the right make of the other test, but which model?

rob_x2004 · 07/15/08, 04:34 AM

I think Pete is off at a pornogaphy shoot. For Man magazine, or le Man...something like that

.

stnami · 07/15/08, 05:08 AM

........... or out planting trees to make up for his greenhouse emissions

rob_x2004 · 07/15/08, 05:12 AM

Rubber trees?
Offset the new age petro vinyl products.

This is the Audi R8 - Audi Sport North America / circa 2002 - it appears a bit different at the tail lights, though. I shot this at the top of the "Corkscrew" at Laguna Seca in October of 2002.

I did get it - but was too late... honest!

Are you sure?
Not only the tail lights are different, also the rear wing is a different construction.
And on the sides of the cockpit it says Audi North America instead of Audi Sport Team Joest...

John -

Excellent shot, but still not quote there. You're a bit behind chronologically, and Dan is a bit ahead. Two more photos.

elansprint72 · 07/15/08, 04:25 PM

No idea! Too modern for me.

The smoke emissions from our barbie could trigger off a new ice age, never before has the term "bien cuir" been abused so much.

Nice photos btw.

John Thawley · 07/15/08, 06:23 PM

I can only guess, 2001 R8 - 24 Hours of Le Mans.

TONTONTINTIN.123 · 07/15/08, 07:00 PM

R10 Tdi 2007 ?

stuny · 07/15/08, 07:09 PM

Martin -

Very close, as was Dan. John actually guessed it, but for some reason he deleted his answer.

ddp · 07/15/08, 07:17 PM

Not a current R10, that i know. Did this actually race? Or was it a pre-production model?

elansprint72 · 07/15/08, 08:13 PM

The pedants are revolting.

In practice, hardly any of this type of sports racing car will be exactly the same as the next one; small changes go on all the time.
