I'm shocked at how well the GTi did in the laptime. I thought it might be further back, but the mk8 really is doing such a great job of keeping the balance of ultimate daily while also having the performance side of things. Great video, I'd love to see more like this. (especially with onboard laps)
@purplehazeffc2 жыл бұрын
Would've been good to see a difference with the Lap 1 time vs a lap 5 time. See how the tyres & brakes hold up.. Also with engine heat soak. Other than that it's a great comparison. Sad that Ford have discontinued both the Focus St & Fiesta ST

Huge mistake lifting in the turn-in with the Fords. Almost all Fords are tuned to be tail-happy so that you can easily rotate them and adjust your angle on the apex. Should have turned in while still on power, lifted to rotate and shot your way out. Fiesta's lap hurts to watch. I have no opinion on the i20 or the i30 though, since I haven't pushed one of those yet, but congrats to the N division for these badass cars.

I currently own the i20n and it is a really fun car to drive. I just dont like how plastic rattles here and there though. What I just dont like is here in NZ, people like to chase and stick really close behind me. I’m like what are you tryna prove to me? 😂

Lost at least a second in unnecessary wheel spin launching the golf and focus, and although I respect the Hyundai, it seems that there is a little too much talking it up when they understeer considerably more than a focus, Megan, or type R. Tyres also have a serious impact on times, easily varying 1 to 2 seconds, and especially for launching a FWD, or multiple hard laps prior to setting a lap time.

Buying a car in Australia is a joke, one has to rob a bank to have a car. People in Australia have more money than sense. A car is no longer a necessity but a commodity. A car is a luxury item and for anyone that is not earning a tradie wage or a lawyers wage will miss out. Any retired senior wanting to upgrade, unfortunately their independence has been taken away.
