Mr Harris and his team giving us yet another well made and enjoyable free film... Thank you!
Chris Harris deserves the great Karma that he obviously has. He's a great driver, which goes without saying, but he's so damned smart, too. Some racing drivers may go faster, but none can tell us the story better. And since the likelihood of our ever getting to do this experience is about less than zero, well, this is "as good as it gets!" Thanks, sir!
The best looking GT3 race car ever

Old Chris is back !
hey i remember you!! the best motoring guy!
roywhiteo5 Hey, yea. Good memory :D
Chris really needs his own TV show. I would watch the hell out of that.
Spot on... Got a bit nervous there when you put Chris in an electric car a few weeks back.
Finally, some real quality stuff instead of those dreary superficial reviews.
A signing petition for letting Chris drive this at Daytona, could it work!? :D
Well done to Chris and to the DRIVE team.
Great commentary from Chris as always, this time particularly communicating his desire for the Ultra.
The DRIVE production team have those "car porn" shots down pat now.
Audi R8 LMS vs Audi-RS-5-DTM?
Question for Chris Harris, vote up for him to see, or someone from /DRIVE.
i bet on the R8
lol no the DTM version is surely faster. In the last year they testes it
DTM cars are much faster, they are at totally different levels. GT3 cars are modified road cars, they have traction control, ABS and they are trgeted to amateur drivers, those bored rich guys who are looking for excitment. DTM cars are totally different cars, they have carbon chasiss, real racing double wishbone suspentiones, huge aero packages even DRS, and no drvier assist like ABS and TC. It is basicly a formula car with a saloon car's body shell and it is made for professional drivers. For a circuit like Nurburgring, a DTM car will be at least 15 seconeds faster than a GT3 car.
Another beautifully edited video guys! LOVE the sound editing between cars once again. Brilliant!
I've gotta like the video based on production alone...looks sweet!
Yes!! the first good review of 2014... nice one Chris.. Love this!!
The filmography is truly something special.
Love the V10 sound.. something very special.
This video is so awesome! Audi forever.
gotta love a good audi!
This is the new record distance holder for the 24 hour Nurburgring race! Congrats to Audi.
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!! /Chris, for us simracers, would you be interested doing a discussion between a real car of your choice that's available in Gran Turismo, Forza, SimRaceway, iRacing and etc, and tell us how they feel relative to the real car? Perhaps a time-attack challenge+discussion combo with Lucas Ordonez or any of the GT Academy grads?
I have loved this car for a while. Great driving Chris!
.. that is an amazing idea. Giving Chris a seat for a season in the VLN series. That could make some great onboard footage and commentary. I'm sure there are more people that feel that way.
Yes, please schedule another go at it in Daytona on a dry track. Would love to see how the LMS Ultra running at 9/10ths+!
I sound like a broken record, but I have to say this again; this is the best car content being made today.
I absolutely cannot imagine a better job then that of Chris Harris' and the rest of the Drive Cast. Someday very soon I hope somehow someway to be given the opportunity to do what they do. My absolute sole dream.
Just press "like" you wont regret.
i regret it :(
This Chris Harris fella is the best automotive journalist in this modern era, brilliant chap
Great vid as usual. This had to be a real treat!
5:08 /Drive Intro I found it.
If he didn't like cars so much...and if I didn't follow GT3 so religiously...I'd say he's got the eyes of a serial killer :D
keep it up chris, always look forward to one of these.
It’s delicious...lol Love the terms Chris use to express his experience while driving. He really makes you smile when he talks about cars
Finally ;) That´s the type of videos I enjoy. It only lacked the direct comparison, but I guess that´s for Daytona ;)
Loved the logo on the sleeve with the pistons and the smile at 1:18
Thanks, love the R8!
Yet another excellent vid!
Chris needs to drive the Audi R18 LMP1. Would love to hear his thoughts on that beast of a car...
O man! The feeling I ger when I see that there's a new drive video with chris harris!
Best Motoring Journalist by far. Thank you Chris Harris.
Awesome video as always Chris.
BBC give this man a spot on Top Gear!
It sounds just so * great, nice and what a job you have Chris
great videos chris, more please ;-)
Great video! Love the downshift on the R8 Ultra! #drawdroppinglyawesome
GT3 is very nice because there are many different race cars made by the most important producers in the world. I wish there was a pure GT3 championship with the best drivers avalaible and not a mixture of professional and semi-professional drivers.
0303riccardo yeah that would be awsome
Excellent vid
"Now there are truly worse ways to spend an afternoon, I have an Audi R8 LMS Ultra and the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit, to myself."
The words that escaped my lips: "Oh fuck you, Chris"
When you saw one of them at the ring in real live you have no other choice than to be a fan of it ^^
Love the R8 LMS
That thing looks wicked. Thumbs up
Awesome as usual! It's cool to watch this and recognize the track...buy from playing Gran Turismo...obviously there's no comparison though. Ace work Drive team.
finally a new Chris Harris video!
You have the talent to be a racing driver Mr Harris, there is no doubting that.
Audi these two cars are both masterpieces like most of your cars i love you Audi
my parents both have Audi
As always, Chris delivers!
Chris and Drive, Thanks for another awesome video! Please, please do a follow up of this one, except please do it on a dry track so you can get the most performance out of the two cars as possible, and please make it at least twice as long. I'd love to hear a detailed explanation of how the two cars are different and it would be awesome to see some empirical data on performance (corner speed, braking, acceleration, top speed in particular sections, etc.). Your video offers a fascinating comparison of something about which I've always wondered, but it just leaves me wanting more, more, more! Please!!! :-) p.s. The follow up doesn't have to be with Audi. Porsche, Ferrari, even Corvette would be just fine...
Surprisingly short on detail for a Chris Harris video, but then he has set the bar to a whole new level.
That V10 sounds incredible!
brilliant, was thinking it must be due, its 8PM :D
Wow! Something really special!
One of the luckiest man in the world is Chris Harris. Honestly a dream job. Its sad that I'm to old to start this.
Would LOVE to see Chris take some of the older Group C cars to the ring. Jag XJR-9, Allard J2X, Toyota 88C-V, Porsche 962, Mazda 787B, Sauber C9, Nissan R92CP, Lola T92/10, Lancia LC2. As well as some early LMP's like the TS020 (GT-ONE), Bentley Speed 8, etc., etc. But NO rain though Chris...you gotta leave that at the house.
i cant believe i've become so used to seeing basic safety gear in track cars i notice the lack of HANS device. even so beautiful video.
What a badass looking car.
More race cars like this please!
love the track!
Thank god! I was starting to go into Chris Harris on Cars withdrawal.
Holy fuck that high beep, it destroys me
I would be very interested to see both on dry track both with the same tyres (both racing tyres then both road tyres) and compare those times if Audi would let you!
My Wednesdays are back! LOL! WB Chris Harris!
i love how that diffuser rips the water from the road
Next week on Drive, Chris Harris goes to Daytona with an Audi R8 LMS lol
Where did that near 8 minutes go? Another great film by the Drive guys!
Chris Harris - you are living the dream, good sir!
Since tires are such a limiting factor, it would be cool to see how the road car performs with proper racing tires on them. That is something I am very curious to see. It could kind of act like a sequel to one of Chris' first videos where he put "donut" spare tires on a C63.
I remember when one of these cars came to our car show
yes another dream car
So two R8's, one of the best tracks in Europe and you get paid to do this. What an awful job!
you have the best fucking job ever chris
could watch this for days...!
Why dont you guys upload the uncut footage?
I'm surprised the race car's LED's aren't yellow like the headlights are.
Anyway, awesome video
I love the music on these videos. You guys really need to give us some way to follow the soundtrack you use in these videos, maybe list the songs used in the video description or something?
Yes! I hate it when no tracklist is given out.
Very nice cinematic depth of field going on but there should be a balance between cinematics and being able to see the beeeeautiful nurburgring background
Anyone know what the huge duct was inside the cabin? Cooling? They might have a duct that runs from the back all the way to the front to pipe in engine noise to remind you that you are driving a glorious v10!
I'll have both, thank you
Prob the sickest job in the world. ALso, R8 is my dream car.
My dad and I both have Audi's. Simply wonderful cars.
You obviously don't have one with the 2.0T then.
Your right I don't. Do they feel super under powered? I'm in an 07 S4.
No, they are super unreliable. I work at a Porsche dealer and we used to have some Audi techs that worked in our shop since theirs was full. They were replacing piston rings and engines left and right in the 2.0t. Probably 4 a week. The 07 S4 is much better as long as the timing chain doesn't give you issues.
Chain has been fine, the headlights are another story though, god that took forever to fix, just told them to get the ballasts and bulbs instead of messing around with the computer which just said that everything was fine.
Oh, were the headlights flickering? If so, the fix it to replace bulbs and igniters... I hate it when dealers try to give customers the run around because they don't want to run up their warranty costs.
Does this guy not have the best life in the World!?
Ron Jeremy has the best life in the world...If you forget about the herpes.
Michael Williams Having sex with prostitutes gets boring after a while. So, Ron Jeremy doesn't have the best life in the world.
***** Let us be honest...If they make more than $150 to PIITB a pringles can made of flesh, they aint prostitutes.
The best looking R8 sports car Audi's built in my opinion
No matter how fast your road car is, it is never going to be as fast as a race car.
*****
Me, that's who.
***** *would have
***** Yeah, nice. My wallet thanks me every time I fill up.
***** Being 22 years old and owning a car that's worth a year of average wage may hint you about my financial situation. I just don't like wasting money on trivial things.
Chris Harris hath been crowned...the new Jeremy Clarkson.
Lovely
this must be a great ride
new gear or new post production technique? it's awesome. also the r8 is. you need to drive an sls gt3 now!
Sterephonic sound was invented in 1930 , who knows one day we might get to hear one of these lovely on track sounds like we got a pair of ears.
as much as i like GT3 cars and i understand that they are for gentlemen racers, i dont understand where motorsport thinks its going when the road going version of the race car has more power.
slicks, aero, suspension, brakes,... make all the difference. Stock will never be faster around a racetrack and that's what matters.
Great video. The audio has some high frequency noises though.
what a dream
Back to form Chris... Amazing as usual.
Note to /DRIVE. Please do not waste Chris Harris on features like TEST/DRIVE. His talent is wasted there. Let him do more videos for CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Would love to see you ay Daytona!
true, hope to run into you if you are
The sound from 5:13 is extremely reconized
,
same matt blue R8 from light room at end of Leo Parente's "how to a build a R8" video?
whats the chances
