Professional racer turned Speed Channel analyst David Hobbs once quipped during a Formula 1 broadcast: "If you Twitter, you must be a twit."

Whether we're twits or not is debatable, but unlike old man Hobbs, we aren't afraid of the occasional tweet. Especially if tweeting allows us to let you in on some of the cool stuff we're doing. Such as driving V8 and V10 Audi R8 Coupes and Spyders from Beverly Hills, California, to Napa Valley, California, ending up at Infineon Raceway where we'll wring out the 2012 Audi R8 GT.

We'll spend all day tomorrow, Wednesday, June 15, driving the "regular" Audi R8s. Then on Thursday we'll take to the track in the highly-coveted, ultra-rare (to the tune of 333 models worldwide and just 90 in the U.S.) 2012 Audi R8 GT. With 560 horsepower and about 180 fewer pounds, it's the ultimate road-going Audi R8.

So start following our Audi R8 Road Trip tomorrow on Twitter @InsideLine_com. And if there's a question you've been dying to have answered about the Audi R8 GT (or any of the R8s we're driving), tweet us and tag it with #AudiR8GT, and we'll shoot you a response back ASAP. Unless the question is lame. Or we're driving.
