Audi Quattro S1
I love the the noise this thing makes -
I happen to be in Ingolstadt at the moment
So here is pic of the real thing at the Audi works

Mr Edwards appears to drive that incredibly timidly. Monster car but doesn't ever appear to be attacking the course?
Not saying that driving that car is easy at all but never appears to be committed?

Used to go to Brands and watch rallycross, back in the days they used group B cars.
Quattro S1's racing against 6r4's, Delta S4's, RS200's and Pug T16's all on the same track racing each other, absolutely awesome!
Best sight, and sound, was watching the Quattro and the S4 flick sideways into the start of druids, and keep it perfectly sideways, 90 degree angle pointing at the apex as if they were a second hand sweeping around a clock face, and then flicking it back round to enter the gravel section.

The Group B Quattro S1's were notoriously tricky to drive, with 450-500 brake on tap, drivers saying the throttle was on and off like flicking a light switch. Can you possibly imagine how difficult a Pikes Peak Quattro with 750-800bhp would be like to drive! I don't think it would be a case of just flicking it sideways around corners, not on tarmac at least, that thing was spinning up in every gear on the straights.

Just shows the commitment on a completely different level.
