Yes.  Absolutely stunning how fast those R8s are.  Just before the end
of the race there was a full course yellow flag, with the two Audis in
the lead behind the pace car.  During that time the whole field of race
cars became bunched up into a slow caravan, the when the green flag came
out, the Audis had a clear track to sprint.  Within 5 minutes the R8s
have lapped the slowest cars on the track!  Just amazing.

I had a good time driving in our caravan to Laguna Seca, and chatting
with our good friends at the track.  It is quite rewarding to go and see
our favorite cars bearing those 4 rings win (again)!
