In a word.. Fantastic. I took it on track a few weeks ago for a session round Lydden Hill, and well.. it just pulled - with zero wheelspin.
The car is around 450hp, but I can come out of the corners in 2nd gear and it just grips - its immense.

This is exactly what stood out with the APR Golf R!!

irrelevant of pedal weather, speed or steering angle, when you want to go faster, you just stick your foot down and its off with no issues whatsoever.  I cant do that in my Fabia with semi slicks running half the power!!!

Do you know whether it is coded in on the Esp as the original single step or two step?


Not sure what that means to be honest..  :stupid:

One step only lets you "limit" the ESP. Two step lets you either limit the ESP or turn it off fully for some slippy sideways action at the track. :happy2:
