Looking at those LED screens in broad daylight and reading
sales figures out of it, not an easy job...listening to these figures when you
know you have R8 waiting for you, to be driven o the BIC F1 track, was even
harder...but...I could easily understand the tone of Michael Perschke there...Head of Audi India was talking in such tone which reminded me of BMW,
few years back...when they had a point to prove...against Mercedes. His josh
was clearly telling us that the company is ready for something...Khair...my
day was set anyway...first I was going to drive the new R8 V10 plus on track
and then change into Jhentalman’s clothes and anchor news till late night...
This duniya of racetracks is very interesting I
feel... everyone comes to the tracks with his own idea, agenda, expectations
and frustrations...huge spectrum from spiritual to cocky. Small little personal
adventures...you test the car or bike, test yourself...where everything is pushed
to the limits...understand what top speed is all about...understand how the car
turns, on those sudden corners giving you minor heart attack . but haan this
is romantic view of the racetrack...practical view is what we got...all those
R8s running in one line ...and apan desi journos line mein...
No doubt this car was fast and powerful..after all it was
the new Audi R 8. With 2 door- 2 seater, made especially for speed. They have
just launched it...and the exciting car made a little more exciting, with V-10
Plus. Top speed 317 kmph. Price crossing 2 crores...
all these figures are not that exciting if you are driving
in line, following the instructor, concentrating on the track -other journos
misadventures and not the car...still in parts you do feel surprised...now
coming back to apan ka Indian track..i felt it had something extra
to offer...for example...no one was honking behind you J no one came from opposite
direction and yes no specially packaged potholes...and yes that day overtaking wasn't allowed anyway
before saying bye...would
go back to the beginning...Audi’s aggressive strategy has worked...it
has overtaken BMW...its No 1 Luxury car maker in India now...
