Default Ice Racing near Edmonton

If you ever get the chance go ice racing, it's a lot of fun! Took my RS5 out and it had grip for days compared to the other cars, was the fastest car out there with rubber tires (as opposed to bolted/studded tires). For anyone that lives where it gets icy this was a really good learning experience, how far you can push your car and what to do when you push a bit too far.

Sorry for the poor quality footage, it's from my first generation GoPro that just won't die! This was one of the sessions, pretty laid back, no passing except on the front straight.

Thumbs up Re: Ice Racing near Edmonton

Great video! Looked like fun. Audi A5 series, especially the RS5 is our favourite coupes. We tried an A5 out a couple years ago and loved it, just out of our price range at the time. At least I can say I had a chance to drive one.
Enjoy!

Ya it was a ton of fun! The video is pretty uneventful, mostly thanks to the quattro, I had the driving assists turned off and it still just plowed through the course. I think I was one of the only cars that didn't hit a snow bank, spin around, or go off course at all :P

I find the RS5 is almost a sleeper, it's not as flashy compared to an M3/M4, but definitely packs a punch! Unless you know what you're looking for, RS badge or oval exhaust, it doesn't look much different than the A5/S5
