Exactly. Audi now needs to let this one cool off, and find a new way to attack on the ad front.

Exactly.... but then why are people posting BMW F1 images on here?

BMW did compete in LMP though.... Audi on the other hand dominated LMP for a while. Audi was not in F1 at all last time I checked

It was after a Car and Drive comparison in which the M3 beat out all these cars. This was back in 97...



I also found the points table they used

Back then you could argue that both those cars were NOT the pinnacle of Porsche's efforts on those vehicles.

That being said, who the fuck would take a M3 over a NSX-T or F355? And Ferrari loses by 1 subjective point?

Youre also a little porsche biased

I wont argue a FWD sport coupe vs a RWD sport roadster. I've driven both but not a track capacity.

But I might argue the lude has more structural rigidity that could give it an edge
