Almost feel ashamed for owning an RS3 when you hear stories and see headlines like these:
Couple killed 'after Audi drivers smashed into them during race' | Mail Online
Sad waste of life thoughts to all families and friends in there tragic lose
Just been on Granada news this morning, police have charged a man from Farnworth with death of 2 people by dangerous driving.
The second driver has been bailed as he is still in hospital.
They did say his name but I'm not going to post that.
Name and shame!
From the pics on MEN website, the S3 took the impact into the corsa, the RS3 has hit something but the damage is minimal compared. I presume then they have charged the RS3 driver, given the state of the S3 would more than likely mean hes the one still in hospital.
Guys, it's very sad and tragic that someone so young should lose their lives over something as simple as driving.
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment of disgust, let's all remember we at some time have probably all done something silly and maybe over stepped the mark more than we should.
Let him without guilt cast the first stone comes to mind!
Also whilst I'm not condoning anyone racing, which hasn't been proved yet, what part did the Corsa play in all this?
Again not trying to trivialise this, but people need to keep a sensible grip on this, we all enjoy pushing the loud pedal at times and I guess you can't ever say it's safe unless it's on a track.
My heart goes out to the families of the victims.
People who can afford rs3 and s3 should know better and be more responsible.
The front wheels look smaller than the rears! is that not supposed to be the case then?Anyone else here had a good look at this car and wonder if this guy has his FRONT wheels/tyres on the BACK and his REAR wheels/tyres on the front? Or maybe 8.5 J's on the rears - something just doesn't look right - not that that helps the situation...
Sympathies to everyone and I mean everyone involved with this nightmare...
The front wheels look smaller than the rears! is that not supposed to be the case then?
also, going by that picture the parts visible through the air vent look brand new! Could it be a replica or recently repaired & aren't Adaptive Headlights standard equipment on the RS3, as those are definitely not adaptive.

ah okay, shows my lack of knowledge on these things. but I'm looking at the wheel spokes rather than the tyres (which look to be similar profiles) and the rears look a size bigger than the fronts, so should the fronts be 19" & the rears 18" or are they all the same size from the factory?
This just completely saddens me.. 2 innocent young lives lost and two nice Audi's smashed up.. "/
