onboard video of R8 round nordschleife

[r8rob]

Hey all

Here is a video from an onboard camera of the R8 doing its lap at nordschliefe.
the time was 8.04 mins, which was a bit disapointing, not bad but could be better, on the video, the tarck looks damp? and also i have heard that the test vehicle had a problem, in the fact that it was not delivering the promised power... so hopefully another run would prove better...

anyway enjoy the link

Excelent. however i would of thought it would have had a flappy paddle gear box like the new TT does.

Plus, the mirror is in the way.

The new R-tronic does have flappy paddles, but the vehicle being used in the video is a manual.
