I think I’ve run out of superlatives here, but wow! It’s honestly like seeing a copy of Volkswagen Audi Car magazine from the 1990’s being lived out in 2023. What an absolute treasure trove of amazingly kept VW’s and Audis.
I’m guessing that’s an actual Frank Biela race car and not a replica?  :cool:

Well worth the wait for your trip. Is your brother a VW/Audiphile too?

Yes, still pinching myself. We spent most of the day there.
I asked Marcus Nothelle about the Biela but his English isn't very good and he just said that it's a good car, so not 100% sure.
My brother has had Audis but currently owns a classic Alfa. Never mind.

With a quick bit of internet digging it seems the Audi is an original works supertourer, so most likely an ex-Biela car from yesteryear. It looks like it still gets used on track going from their Instagram.

We can forgive your brother for the Alfa! Your brother has great taste too!

I think it belongs to Marcus Nothelle and it's his track car (amongst others).

🎉🎈!!
Shame the RS has gone but the R20 looks lovely  :cool:

With the lifter in the garage there’s no excuse not to keep the underside as clean as the bodywork!
