Well, no longer on pavement. The last AWD pavement racers were AUDI's in
IMSA GTO. They so dominated, they were ballasted, and when they still
won, they were outlawed. >>

AWD Audi quattro do still race on pavement. Look no farther than the
Speedvision World Challenge GT Championship of the Motorola, er GA(?)
Cup series' For reference, here's a shot
(http://motorsportvisions.com/ls00wc_ta/pages/ls00_62.htm) of the World
Challenge GT Championship runner-up in points (in a development season
with many problems early on) taken at Laguna Seca last October. I
understand that our own Todd Candey of Vortrag is going to be running
these S4 Competitions this year in WCGT. A team for us to cheer on for
sure!!!!!

While the R8 is a magnificent beast that every Audi fan should get out
and enjoy, the S4 Competition is a quattro (well sorta...) and the WCGT
is a great and exciting series to watch, at least I think so.
