I was expecting it to be a Volvo with the speed restrictor removed

Blacktemplar · 05-21-2020, 10:47 AM

He needs to get that wind whistle sorted.....

Can't be that many RS6's in the area, and presumably posting this on social media of some sort might be a bit of a step for a hint....

Very interested how long it will take for the relevant authorities to locate the driver who is about to embark on the journey of taking the bicycle everywhere for the foreseeable future.

Story doesn’t need exaggeration, but Daily Mail does it anyway. He was not weaving through traffic or dangerously changing lanes. Just the speed and the camera work makes it mega dangerous.

JustChris · 05-21-2020, 11:21 AM

Double tonne hearse. Ban hammer coming if they find em.

And a possible prison sentence I would think.

R0B · 05-21-2020, 11:46 AM

Jesus, that would sting if it stepped out of line.

And it's tops out 202 not 201 as the Daily Mail report

TodmordenLad · 05-21-2020, 12:26 PM

The police should be able to identify the
location from the roadsigns and then the car from overhead camera footage, if there is any. Lifetime ban + suspended sentence?

Grant_7 · 05-21-2020, 02:26 PM

201mph.

Good effort I say.

If he gets charged with dangerous driving he will be lucky with a suspended sentence, long ban and large fine...and that's if he's lucky.
I think the Motorway cam system will probably catch the plate at some point..

What an absolute Bellend!
Reaction and braking time/distance at that speed is massive.
These pricks are the type of people that kill others and walk away unscathed.
Price of life? A few seconds clip on YouTube.
Boils my piss.

M23 Pease pottage says the article, travelled it loads of times but unsure if overhead cams on that section. Further up towards the airport is a different story.

This will come down to the drivers fuckwittery in posting an online video and it being identified from there.

I agree. I'm certainly no angel where speed limits on the open road are concerned but, assuming the video's genuine, excessive speed of that sort of magnitude on a public road can't be condoned. It's drivers like that who provide power to the elbow of BRAKE and their like-minded cronies and screw it up for the rest of us....

Presumably the police can access cctv and not just overhead speed cams. Should be plenty of those on any motorway. They don’t need to capture his speed, he’s done that for them, just need his number plate.

planemad · 05-21-2020, 04:56 PM

But when was it taken

And can a RS 6 get to them speeds ?

Kal101 · 05-21-2020, 05:05 PM

Heard he was in a promise.

If the limiter was removed, it's likely to be remapped?

alpinafan · 05-21-2020, 06:10 PM

It's not taking a bicycle that should concern him in the near future, bending over to pick up the soap should be his biggest worry

Mattyk · 05-21-2020, 06:15 PM

189 with a factory pack it seems

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/rs6/engines

Pretty impressive engineering imo

That said, at that speed on the motorway passing other traffic is just crazy

Surely a bucket and bars

Apples12 · 05-21-2020, 09:09 PM

Utterly reckless.

Not saying I've never gone over the speed limit but jeez!

Impressed by the car on one hand but total lunacy on the drivers part, at least keep both hands on the damn wheel!

Also interested to see how long it takes to find him. Chances are if it was remapped and he'd gone out of his way to not only film this but post it to social media, it's likely he took steps not to get caught/throw the police off his tail - false or no plates. Tend to see that around Birmingham a lot where it's lunatics in rs3's tearing around with no plates on at all
