i think its because the airfield had some stripes on it to give better grip. check out the pictures

Did the cars experienced more tire noise/vibration with th new pavement? and in the last video the sound is way off! but very very nice collection of cars! congratilations once again boss.

The cause for that was that the pavement on the airfield landing track was prepared with transversal grooves some 1/4" wide and deep, that had been cut every 2" all the way down the track. This is done to get better friction in all weather conditions during hard braking when aircraft are landing."

I used the US Launch control at the end of the day on Saturday after all the cars had left. I COULD NOT spin my tires. I was only able to chirp my wheels through the third gear, but that was it! Grip was OUTSTANDING!!! In fact, I had a final speed at the end of the strip that was only 1 kph slower than from a rolling start at the cones.

I've actually driven a RUF R Turbo (550 hp) C4S lookalike, at least from the rear.

More pics from the RUF Driver's Training with manyu Rufs, Carrera GTs, CCR etc.

Didn't know you had a chipped RS6 there. Can't wait to see the atom in action!!!!

Wow, that was interesting. Was the Launch further away from the cones, so you ahd around 50 km/h when you passed the cones?
