First time taking the R8 for some track time… anyone else?

Car exceeds expectations on the track but dealing with some understeer issues. Planning adjustments to fix it.



Awesome pics, and man, that car looks amazing! Do you have any video?

Thanks! Unfortunately, the video didn’t turn out great because of the sun, but here’s the onboard with some data. Check it out!

That’s exactly what Papa Piech would have wanted.

The pics are seriously cool. Can’t wait to try my car on the track too!

Thank you! You’re going to have a blast. The car’s forgiving but still gives you some thrill. Which track are you planning to hit?

@Ari
I’m down in North Florida, so the FIRM is the closest track for me to get some time behind the wheel. I’d love to take it to Road Atlanta or VIR one day, but I want to get more comfortable before pushing it that far.

@Olin
I just checked out the FIRM—it looks pretty wild compared to the tracks around Toronto! Road Atlanta and VIR are on my list too. Props to you for taking your time and learning the car. I hope to see some pics of you on the track soon!

@Ari
Appreciate it! As my granddad used to say, ‘Let’s keep the rubber on the road!’

Around here, we call it Audisteer!
