so the r10 only reached 326 km/h and was that fast in 2006 (3:30.466)... that means it went on truly high downforce... i'm surprised to see that there were cars exceeding the r10's top speeds...i guess audi were a lot more relaxed in 2006 than in 2007, when the competition of peugeot made them go faster, as no other car in the field went as fast as audi did (339 km/h) except for peugeot's 339 km/h. i remember the r8 went 330 km/h in 2002... some say the r8 even reached 337 km/h on the mulsanne-indianapolis sector... but true, in its first year, 2000, as 2006 would be for the r10, the r8 only reached 325 km/h...
although the lap times are just about the same as always, i kinda feel nostalgic about the days of the toyota gt-one (352 km/h in practice 1999), audi r8c (349 km/h) and r8r (335 km/h), mercedes clr (349 km/h)... that 1999 race was great in that respect.
