The Hockenheim time was done with both sets of tires:
1.14,4 with P Zero Corsa
1.15,9 with Conti Sport Contact (M5 on the same tires: 1.16,5)

You see T-Bone, the chassis is the key to making a car perform, not the tyres themselves. You feel that you know a bit because you track your car occasionally but I know what makes a good car handle.
I wonder what will come standard on the RS6, will it be Conti Sport Contacts or Dunlop as the norm with Audis or will it be P Zero Corsa or PS2s. Unless it the latter I doubt even the RS6 will have it's chassis setup for them.
P.S. Notice how little a difference it made over the M5 on the short circuit, this points to the M5 having the better chassis of the two in my opinion.
