Well, it finally happened!! I thought I was going to end the day with a 2:00.96, which would've been a multiple second faster PB. I was happy with that time, the old RS4's felt very tired and I thought I could not push them any further. I couldn't have been more wrong. I ended up getting talked into going out for one more go by a buddy. I staged up first, so I had no traffic in sight, one warm up lap, straight into a hot lap. Enjoy me missing 5th on the uphill and messing up the 3rd gear downshift before the thumb. More PB's to come!!
