Two Laps of Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) in an Audi R8 5.2 FSI V10 with Allan McNish

Audi Le Mans winner Allan McNish gives our editor George Achorn a thrill ride around Northern California's Infineon Raceway (a.k.a. Sears Point). The first lap is mostly about the driving and Allan compares it a bit to racing his Audi R8 Le Mans Prototype here in the American Le Mans Series. In the second lap, Allan shows some of the cars other capabilities (brakes and balance mainly) and chats about comparing the R8 V10 to the R8 V8.

Agreed. I shot it. It was so last minute that I got in the car with him and we didn't want to miss it.

[Fourtitube]

WOW! R8 V10, Alan McNish driving.

And I thought I wanted this car 5yrs ago as a prototype?!

I think I just creamed myself hearing the engine and dreaming myself driving it.

I SWEAR I win the lottery I don't care how OLD I get I'm buying one, getting laid on the roof by my wife, and buying my best friend one to race along with :D

Formula 1 is nothing compared to Le Mans, R8 10/10 100%, no wonder why it is recognized as words best as car and performance, Thank you for video *****.

This is kinda off topic, but in my opinion, anyone who can at least finish the le mans 24 hour race in one piece is an amazing driver!
