Very cool.
Was this a promotional thing for the S5? Or did you pay for this day at the track?
Either way, loving these panoramic shots. the A5 never looked so good.

Sounds like it was a blast! And I love the pictures, it looks as though they came straight out of a brochure for the S5.

So how did the car feel on the track? Assen is the MotoGP circuit right?

The car is nice, although a bit heavy. Understeer comes in a lot later than I expected and the V8 is more rev-happy than you'd think. I got surprised by the rev-limiter a few times at the exit of fast 2nd and 3rd gear corners. It was idd on the MotoGP-track and the German driving-instructors encouraged us to push it quite hard. 8)
