As in the v8s vs B5 this video was a unjustified race as in the first race the B8 touring on the far side had a jump start. Exactly my point.

WE all bloody know a b5 is quicker than a v8s but if it were from a standing start I expect the race to be closer!!!!!!!!!!

What do you base that opinion on? Have you driven a B5?

My point is on the outcome of this race. As you can see with video evidence, its unfair the race to stsrt from a rolling start. As any car driver, colud get the upper hand, from a second or two that could have a major affect on the outcome.
