American news story... Audi F1 car... really??

[EK993]

This made me chuckle:

http://fairfield.patch.com/articles/audi-car-fire-...

Curry said the car was a "pure race car" and "a street version of [Audi's] Formula One race car."

Fire Chief Curry is obviously a die hard F1 fan...

Edited to add... the Fire Chiefs comments made me chuckle... not the fire.. that wasn't funny, I know as I have had the exact same thing happen to me.

Give it a rest. At 120k USD, its not even the 'ultimate' version of the R8 let alone the 'ultimate' car.

That's what caught fire ... all that imagine..!

For a second I thought he might know something about the upcoming F1 regs that we don't.

I presume he's thinking - rather optimistically - of the old R8 Le Mans racer.
