For the first run of the day, the Audi takes the lead right off the bat. But by the time they're getting close to 124 mph (200 kph), the BMW retakes control of the race and simply vanishes into the horizon. Even Daniel, the driver, is shocked at how fast the M5 CS is. Looking at the stats, the BMW needed just 6.66 seconds to get from 62 mph (100 kph) up to 124 mph (200 kph), and a total of 11.57 seconds to run the quarter-mile (402 meters). The half-mile (804 meters) marker was reached in 17.72 seconds after the launch sequence, and the trap speed was 157 mph (254 kph).
The Audi was slightly faster up to 62 mph but was slower throughout the other readings. So the initial predictions may have been accurate, up until this point. They go at it again, and this time the BMW is off to a much better start. By the time they're doing 70 mph (112 kph), the gap is starting to widen, as the RS 7 is left way behind. The BMW managed to improve its previous results, crossing the half-mile line in just 17.07 seconds!
For the last challenge of the day, they decide on trying a rolling race format, starting at 37 mph (60 kph). The M5 CS is so fast it's not even funny anymore, and I get the feeling that some Audi owners might not be as cocky about their cars in the future. While the driver in the RS 7 is left with a heavy dose of disappointment, we get to see the M5 CS doing some donuts, as it shows off its rear-biased xDrive system.

Not for nothing but the regular M5 beats the RS7 easily. This M5CS demolished the RS7.

The first race M5CS had a bad start and tires on both cars were probably cold. They should have done a third race. The CS could do even better I think.

You're spot on esp on tire temps...there's a reason F1 does formation laps and temp control is one of the biggest strategic foul ups that can happen lol. Same principles apply here.
