Nismo looked more balanced, even with 200kg more weight. Audi was way too nervous, even for Tiff. He almost had to catch his breath a couple of times. Rockingham is a good test track as well. It offsets the cars in many places, showing weaknesses in suspension setup and balance.

From a drivers perspective, i think the Nismo is the better car. It looked more planted.
The Audi R8 is a Gallardo in an office suit. But that car's setup needs to be tweaked. Especially in track day mode.
Even if the Audi won the lap time, it is only marginal and surprisingly close to a car that weighs 200kg more.

Nismo is way too expensive though. But even for that price it will find buyers.

Of course Tiff is forcing the cars to their limits. But that is why he is one of the Worlds best test drivers. :party:

I would rather get a used BMW E92 335I and have more than enough money to actually use it, as you can't just buy a new car - you have think about ensurances which is much higher for new car than it is for older cars and then there is the upkeep and depreciation, while a 8-9 year old BMW E92 335I by now have depreciated all it will a new sportscar could lose 10-20 K euros in one year .. so yeah you buy a new car. :lol:
