About the Audi;

Two sat on the front row/pole at the ARRCs. But they didn't finish or make it to the tech shed.
First- We have NO idea what engine, head, bottom end, gearbox, etc etc etc were in them. And that's not a slam against the owners either, as it's easy to mistake engines and parts and get the wrong ones in.
Second, it was a fine day, but they were well off the record pace.
Third, it's not like they are trouncing everyone regionally.

I do agree that the result is not one that fits preconceived notions, and I have no problem, no, make that, I think it's prudent, to go digging deeper and get more data before moving further.
