997.1TT chasing an Audi R8 V10 in the Netherlands (video inside)

Rat3d ///M · 08-30-2017, 03:43 PM

I went on a short rally this weekend in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany where I got the chance to partake in some spirited driving against an Audi R8 V10 through some back roads. Below is a video I put together of the drive. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I kept with him every time he accelerated, at times only giving about 75% throttle

Are you fucking kidding me? You're hitting triple digits speeds passed bicyclists. Save it for the Autobahn. What the fuck...

Taskmaster · 08-30-2017, 05:41 PM

I hate the R8.

I know this road , it's near Aubel in Belgium .
Aubel is also part from the Belgian Ardennes .
My ///M knows all the roads over there..

I watched the video, not sure about the triple digit speed as there was no telemetry, not that I'm excusing passing the bikes at pretty quick speeds on tight roads.

RABAUKE · 08-30-2017, 06:39 PM

I watched this video, I didn't see that you were keeping up as he was stuck in traffic, or at least playing follow the leader. From what I saw he was pulling away from you a few times.

Need to run them out on a track for a real test, not sayin' your P car is slow just not sure you were having the Audi for lunch.

yeah, douche nozzles at their finest.

You dumb f*ck. Go take that shit elsewhere, like a TRACK for example. And no, no one cares about yet ANOTHER car Youtube channel. The market's saturated, that ship has sailed. You're about 10 years too late. Go get a real job.

BayMoWe335 · 08-30-2017, 11:40 PM

No one cares and you drive like an idiot.

1MOREMOD · 08-30-2017, 11:44 PM

Willingness to be the dumbest on the street is all it takes to keep up.

traffic fatalities rates in the Netherlands (pedestrians, cyclists, kids included) are among the lowest worldwide. We'd like to keep it that way, or actually we want to improve on those sad statistics.

Eternal · 08-31-2017, 05:41 AM

Well that backfired. Did you really race through an area where people were running/riding and organized race?

seedyrom · 08-31-2017, 06:53 AM

You need 75% throttle to keep up with traffic?

That is pretty pathetic

Oh man, awesome video OP!

Nah, didn't watch it - based on the comments, I didn't need to. You are only going to get a reality check in here.

True, he was pulling from me a few times, but there were times I wasn't getting on it. In reality this was just a spirited drive for a rally i took part in and we were all together (about 30 of us). Neither of us were racing. But there were a few times in the video he was clearly going flat out (as was i) and I was right with him.

Good grief, I saw the first biker and thought wtf, then saw another, then another, then....

C'mon man, that was ridiculous. Honestly the video sucked too, it looked like you were in traffic the whole time.

You do know this was part of a rally and there were about 30 cars involved, Yes? Your "traffic" is the other cars in our group.

Agreed. As a person who rides bike, that's not safe.

OP doesn't get it and probably never will.
