Audi R8 V10 On-Track at Infineon Raceway

Hit the track with us for a lap in Audi’s hottest R8. The combination of 525 horsepower and an 8700-rpm redline isn’t one that invites prudence, so we recently took Audi up on an offer to sample the new R8 5.2 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma Valley, California. Audi runs its one- and two-day Sportscar Experience at this track, and the R8 V-10 is now one of the featured cars. One-day R8 courses, which will plant participants behind the wheel of an R8 5.2 for about 3.5 to 4 hours of in-paddock training and on-track instruction, runs $1895.

The Squeal Deal: You’ve got the sports car, you’ve booked the track time—now you need track tires. We take four sets to the limit. A day at the racetrack usually works out to half-hour bursts of lapping, maybe 15 to 20 hot laps per session, followed by some pit-wall sitting while you wait for other groups to take their turns. We’ve found...
