Oh and look if you type in "Audi P1" look at all the stuff you get on google. You have broken your goggle if it got you nothing.

Sainted I do not watch ALMS its too late in the night to watch, but I know there is no such thing as a Audi P1 , their racing car naming system starts with the letter R (thats where the R8 got its name) with the exception of the DTM cars which are production based cars like the A5 or A4 so they cannot receive that naming system.

The P1 term is the class it runs in P1 not the name of the cars actual name of the car.

http://www.audiusa.com/us/brand/en/exp/motorsport.html in case you do not believe me their is no such thing as a Audi P1.

I believe the car in the middle of the photo is not an Audi thats a Lola from what I know. (if that is what you are pointing out to me)

you have to be trolling. i was talking about the Audi cars that run P1. and there is a picture of an R18 right next to the sections that explains what a P1 class is. an audi R 15 or 18 or whatever number is P1 classed car. goodness you have to be trolling.

here is what i am pointing out to you. I know that more than one of the P1 Audi's run hybrid systems adn didnt want to list each Audi P1 that did. So i said
Audi P1's " signifying what kind of Audi i was talking about.

sainted you could have just said the audi cars in P1 at ALMS (or the Audi prototypes) not call them the Audi P1 (that makes it sound like an actual car in my opinion and thats what I thought) which caused me to search it as Audi P1 because I was curious what one was, which of course came up with all sorts of stuff because no Audi is called a P1.

I am sorry if you think I was trolling but whenever I said its an Audi R15 or R18 (which are P1 cars or former P1's) you kept on bringing up different stuff (and when you said look P1 next to the R18 I thought you meant the Lola for I do not know what they number their Lola's) which made it more confusing.

as I said I do not know ALMS and I always call the Audi prototype cars by the numbering which was R15 R18 etc

sorry if you thought I was trolling I just got confused by your description of an Audi Prototype car.

lol its watever. talk about miscommunication

incase your wondering this is Gran Turismo

they say its been confirmed that it is going to be a V6 Hybrid with two electric motors at the front and the V6 powering the rear. (i.e. its a 4WD)

from what I know they will be using a system similar to the McLaren MP4-12C where the electric motors help turn in by powering one side more than the other (the McLaren applying different levels of brake power to help turn in), the Pagani Huayra does something similar using air brakes and brakes.

Part of the clips in this Video look like they took it from a Forza Game Track....could this be one of the cars that will be in Forza 5

nah thats all gt5 :p. they already have the c7 dlc. although forza 5 will undoubtably have it.

If you look at the end of the video it says gran-turismo Polyphony Digital

The original NSX concept had a V-10 and was going to be 4wd. Guess they scrapped the big engine.

The Audi R18 is an amazing machine, been lucky enough to be within touching distance of it 2 years ago at the Petit Le Mans.

The R18 E-tron quattro is the hybrid car, less top speed than the R18 but more acceleration thanks to its hybrid system which powers all 4 wheels and was only able to be used at Le Mans at speeds greater than 75kph (i think) while the Toyota's was a 2 wheel drive hybrid and they could use their power boost at any point on the track and at any speed.
