The Best Day at
Work Ever #Helpful Post
hey
Austin this is Austin and today I'm
here
in Austin Texas at Circuit of the
Americas
for one reason I'm about to go
faster
than I've ever gone in my life
well
I mean a car at least and I'm doing
that
thanks to Audi who not only were
able
to sponsor our video but also let
me
drive the r8 on the track the Audi
driving
experience starts by putting you
behind
the wheel of the car that I Drive
every
single day the Audi rs3 the day
begins
with this simple slalom and lane
change
exercise and ends with a braking
zone
you know like the license tests in
Gran
Turismo that I always missed the
braking
zone end next up I got some seat
time
with the autocross course in the TT
RS
now I'll admit even though it's the
same
400 horsepower turbo 5 cylinder
with
all-wheel-drive as well as the
7-speed
dual-clutch it feels a lot more
lively
I got the car sideways almost
every
single lap especially in the wet
area
which is just a giant test of
patience
so after a little bit of time
in
both the rs3 as well as the TT RS it
is
time for a full track session on the
main
circuit of the americas track in
the
r8 so this is going to be the full
RA
plus we've got the 600 plus
horsepower
v10 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission
huge tires and a whole lot
of
track to use it on so it is an
incredibly
hot day here in Austin right
now
the temperature reading is 102
degrees
Fahrenheit but the cars are
actually
holding up pretty well and that
dual
clutch I mean it just feels so
responsible
I grab a paddle and I
immediately
there and with that v10
right
behind us we're short shifting a
little
bit because I don't want to
overheat
it I may have overheated
transmission
earlier in the day
listen
to that putter miles-an-hour
once
end
1:20
125-130
and hard on the brakes hard of
the
brakes so the speed is serious in
such
a car like this and we're
definitely
a lot more in na so circle
America
is is an f1 track so they do
other
types of racing here and the Audi
experience
actually does take advantage
of
this track for events like this but
this
is really designed first and
foremost
as an f1 track and you can tell
it's
why it's fast it's very technical
there's
certain sections where if you
get
it a little bit off
you
can totally mess up the next couple
of
corners but the r8 it's forgiving I
mean
I don't have a ton of track
experience
but I feel really comfortable
pushing
the limits of at least what I
can
do definitely out what the car isn't
capable
of all right full throttle let's
do
it let's do it
dude
that ships are instant you hit a
pallet
you're a merely going and I love
being
able to really haul down on these
ceramic
brakes I mean we've been going
it's
a hot day and they have not faded
one
bit which makes sense right I mean
that's
why you buy incredibly expensive
ceramic
brakes on your very very pricey
audi
r8
pulling
on the straight will thought
let's
go I'm like legitimately convinced
mid-engine
I've never really fully
experienced
what a mid-engine car feels
like
especially on a track but I get it
now
like that balance just being able to
place
the car exactly where you wanted
this
car this car is something else I
mean
first of all look at it it is
absolutely
beautiful with the
performance
on the track man I'm in love
I'm
in love
v10
mid-engine all-wheel drive sign me
up
today was absolutely awesome I can't
think
audience response during the video
but
for letting me have the opportunity
to
drive the RA the TT RS in the rs3 you
guys
ever get the opportunity to do a
driving
school like this absolutely go
for
it
