Big respect, the guy was fully commited through "Pflanzgarten" too, which is probably the most butt clenching part of the entire course. Very surprised that niether were wearing helmets tho.

Jeeze, no mechanical sympathy there. His tyres must have been like chewing gum, squealing like a stuck pig all the way around like that!!

Still, big balls though!

I missed it too doh!!!  :scared: But the main reason the Scirroco is more planted is to do with the Electronic Ride system it has you know put it into sport mode and it tightens up the whole car. Great bit of kit. Its also available as an option in the Mk6 GTI  :driver:
