Hi Dave!

Thanks for the input!

So which one was the S1 Evolution (1), then?
As you tell here:
> Public name -------------------------- FIA Homogulation name 
> Sport quattro road car --------------- Sport quattro 
> Sport quattro rally car -------------- Sport quattro Evolution 1 
> Sport quattro rally S1(big wings) -----Sport quattro S1 Evolution 2 
There obviously was no SQ S1 Evo 1. But it is a known fact, that Audi
sometimes has difficulties with numbers, so I think you are right.
Could you confirm that there is no extra name applied to the Pikes Peak S1?

Wow! Must have been a tough rebuild!

Strange, wasn't the S1 introduced when Pikes Peak took place in July?

That should make her the fastest Taxi on Pikes Peak forever!!

[About the term S2]

Very few which are very sought after here.

AFAIK it is the 230PS ABY engine. Also similar to the UrS4's AAN, if I
remember correctly (IIRC).

Yes, I know of that white one that is all over the net ;)

> The S2 name

That was my understanding, too. *relieve*

Thanks again Dave!
