The main problem with those kinds of videos is that you only need a little bit of a head start over the faster car to make quite a big difference on the outcome. You can see him getting the jump on the audi because when he beeps the horn it's not 3 evenly timed beeps. The last one is a much shorter gap.

Compsport is a bit like Revo et al. I bet that rocco has over 350bhp. So the performance of the two cars is pretty similar.

You have to remember the rocco is soo much lighter compared to the R8
Power to weight ratio is a big factor.....only up to a certain speed though
