Taka:
Audi ran the type 44 in DTM (v8) the 88 trans am series, and several teams
put together the urs4 to run in the states as well.  All with good success.
The type 44 is a car to be reckoned with IMO.  For the price of a 5ktq (under
a grand running for the car, another couple in prep) you can get a dedicated
track car that will be second only to the most tweeked of tweeked porsches,
btst, in fact one of those cars is in my shop right now.

With a 20vt conversion into that same track 5ktq, you can have the rest
chasing you in any marque event (btdoingt to this same machine).  The problem
with the urs is it's weight, the 5ktq on the other hand can be easily trimmed
to 2700lbs, which with a chipped 10vt is a better p/w ratio than the 951.
Bang for buck, the type 44 isn't at all a bad track beast to consider, but it
must be considered in track context only to be serious.
