At the `ring last year Steve, there were 20 guys from OZ who`d flown to London and hired supercars from one of the rental companies to do a tour of Europe (they also hired the entire fleet of race school cars at the `ring). We spoke to them a lot over the weekend and every single one of them preffered the R8 above any of the other cars they had with them. They had an F430, Gallardo, 997TT, M6, Bentley CGT, RRS S/C, AMV8, RS4 and the R8.
Quite funny as the 997 was being driven by a young lad and had post it notes everywhere inside saying "keep right, overtake Left".
