In this video I finally get the new Golf GTI TCR up against the reigning GTI champ (for me at least), the Clubsport Edition 40.
I've been desperate to do this as at first the TCR looked like a weak impersonation of the Clubsport but then I saw the bigger brakes, higher (permanent) power output, unique colour option and heard the fruitier exhaust note and was impressed.
I was then disappointed by the fact you couldn't order bucket seats, or a manual gearbox or (eventually) even 3 doors. The fact it lost the Clubsport's aero kit was a shame too, instead it got standard GTI bumpers with more aggressive bits clipped onto them to differentiate it from the GTI Performance (and GTD/GTE).
So it was all to play for when I visited Brackley to drive APS (www.autops.co.uk) director Ed Jackson's brand new example with just 700 mile on the clock.
Ed's car was specced in quite an unusual way which made comparison a little bit tricky but ultimately we got there in the end, keep watching to hear the verdict!
