Again I am struggling to understand why the brakes when off so quick, tyres again should have lasted longer than one lap, even Michelin PS2s. I've tracked a far few Audis over the years, including the TT and on every occasion the tyres lasted a lot longer than one lap, though I will say that up until recently the brakes weren't Audi's strongest point but recently the new S and RS models have been very good and the brakes on the TT-RS is really good.

I didn't read these problems with the Sportauto test so maybe the EVO example was an unlucky one.
