Hi,

I spend sunday at the high speed test center of Mortefontaine (North of
Paris) at the Audi Training Facility. Between many activities, there
were high speed laps of the RS6 on this special track where the curves
are at 45 degrees and speed can go up to 300 km/h. I took a couple of
high def (2048x1036) shots since the car was at full sped (aroun 290
km/h). I had the chance to drive it as well but did not go over 230 km/h
as it was my first time on such track. I have to say it is much much
more difficult to drive there than on highway. First because of the
concentration required due to the visual tunnel and secondly because 3Gs
is quite tiring at every curve. The instructor had to remind me to
breathe on the straight lines !

Anyway after this experience I don't look at Nardo movies the same way !
