Back in 2012 Red Bull took Carlos Sainz, DTM driver Miguel Molina, and an Audi R8 LMS to the historic Autódromo de Sitges-Terramar in Spain to see if they could break the lap record that has stood unchallenged since 1923.

A supercut of some of the best and most memorable chase sequences in cinema. Featuring, as you would expect, everything from 'Smokey and the Bandit', 'Bullitt', the 'Mad Max' series, 'The Transporter', and even a little bit of 'E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial'.

Don't miss background from the video's creator, Michael Mirasol, at Movie Mezzanine; and yet more meta over at No Film School.

Our pick as the greatest: 'Ronin'.

Mike Costello for CarAdvice:

The Audi Sport moniker has been set up to more clearly delineate Audi’s hardcore sports car (RS models and the R8) and racing activities from the rest of the brand — in essence, it’s the new forward-facing name for its quattro GmbH subsidiary (Audi’s version of AMG or BMW M).

Makes perfect sense for Audi to leverage more from their extensive motorsport activities by their factory WEC, GT, and DTM squads, as well as numerous customer teams and Audi Sport TT Cup program. As much as I liked the use of quattro GmbH as their 'RS' skunkworks, 'quattro' as a brand does have legacy motorsport and production car issues to overcome, had it been used as Audi's equivalent 'BMW M' or 'AMG' division.

Motorsport Magazine reports:

Audi scored its 13th victory in 15 attempts at the Le Mans 24 Hours, and Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fassler their third in four years, but only after one of the most dramatic races in the grand euduro’s long history.

What a race! The last few hours had us on the edge of our seats. Porsche #20 was looking like an outside chance with just two hours to go, until engine issues put paid to a fairy tale return to La Sarthe.

We have a massive soft spot for wagons, particularly fast wagons. The Porsche-fettled RS2 right up there as one of our favourites.

This one-of-180 RHD, ex-UK specimen in classic RS Blau looks the goods. Seller mentions a throughly documented history and some recent suspension restoration work.

Located in Brighton-Le-Sands, NSW. Listed on Carsales for $69,950.

Update 12 Oct 2015: Still for sale - now listed for $88,000!

Pistonheads ponder the question:

How do you advertise a performance car when the one thing you can't advertise is performance?

Sadly this disease is also well entrenched in Australia, witness the recent sequence of recuts forced upon Nissan's latest Pulsar SSS spot.

Autosport:

Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Loic Duval took a commanding victory in a Le Mans 24 Hours that was overshadowed by the death of Danish driver Allan Simonsen early in the race.

An epic race, sadly to be remembered for the wrong reasons. RIP Allan Simonsen.
