Default Audi R8/RS8 fire pics from the ring

sorry if its a repost, ive looked down page 1 and 2, and used the search feature and cant find anything



"These photos are spreading around the net like wildfire (excuse the pun) showing an Audi RS8 prototype doing laps on the Nurburgring before catching alight and ending up as just a roll cage and 4 wheels covered in foam. I have no idea where the actual body panels went as there are still bits of rubber left from the tyres but hee haw of the shell itself. Thankfully the test driver from Team Audi escaped uninjured though its a shame the same cant be said for the car."
