I was impressed with the handling of the rocco, and the way it got the power down . :jumping:

The dsg working a treat for him and agree'd, the rocco's handling looks superb with very little understear. Well Planted.Not shy of the carosel either!

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!
