RS 4 Rave - First Ride in the Fantastic New RS 4 at Le Mans | « » 11:45 AM 6/24/2005 | |
|
It’s 1AM and I’m getting sluggish. It seems the 24 Hours of Le Mans is an endurance feat for spectator as well as driver. As the R8s blast their way down the front straight of “le circuit” through the chicane and off past the Dunlop Bridge, a gateway into endless darkness, I make my way to an Audi V.I.P. hospitality suite called the “R8 Racing Lounge”. It’s directly across the track from pit row, a quiet and stylish oasis from the bawdiness of the “village” or the loud ruckus that surrounds the race team trucks. I lean heavily against the wall of the glass elevator as it moves me up two floors. The lounge is fairly empty, filled with the most hardcore spectators who’ve decided not to head back to their hotel rooms. For these most avid, I learn Audi has several activities planned to pass the night, one of which is a ride in the new RS 4 on the tarmac of the airport across the street. Characteristically like a Rave party, I’m hearing about it at the last minute and it looks to be one of the highlights of my evening. At the very least, it’s a wakeup call, wrenching me from my weariness. Full Story

We don't have the bandwidth. If I put that up, I'd probably send us into throttling issues. If you can host it somewhere, I can put up online if you're willing to share it.

I can host it... let me know how you want to get it to me.
