You are obviously driving too slow

I drove mine 400 miles in the torrential rain last weekend - never once did it feel anything less than totally sure footed, even at speed.

Totally awesome machine - 3 months in I'm loving it more and more.

How much tread on the tyres??

Bet there on 2.5 - 3mm.

Well I fault cars for a living and the only thing I could says thats remotely negative is the brake are just a tad over assisted, a bit less servo would have been nice. And occasionally the suspention is a tad firm even with the dampers set to soft.

Other than that is absolutely fantastic, the balance is just great not like any other Audi that are always a bit safe and understeering, not so with the R8, you can actually drift on the throttle.

Havnt had a propper go in a V10 yet, only driven one and was a customers so very much toned down test drive, but if an Audi UK demo ever comes my way I'll be testing test the ESP off button.

!Love the manual gearbox and the alloy shift gate!
