I'd be more inclined to say he was losing the back end because he was too busy keeping an eye on what the idiot behind him was doing.

It's TF, and road rules apply. A lot of visitors (this guy was French?) instantly void their insurance as soon as they set wheels on it, most people know this. I would sacrifice a lap every time to avoid some clown punting me down the track, and doing a runner/having no means to pay.

He ruined his tyres going in too early, too hot and scrubbing off speed with understeer. The car itself would go around very quickly, just not with him behind the wheel.

I've watched his other videos now and I was wrong and you are right. He is a bit of a tool of a driver. And he clearly uses the handbrake on one section of the track in his other videos.

He's brave driving his 40k car around the ring like that, not something I'd do.

No point really comparing AWD RS3 vs RWD M3. AWD is very easy to go quickly, RWD requires plenty of skill...

Personally would go for m3 every time.

Well setup rwd cars can be a doddle to drive fast too! Apparently the exige v6s falls into tht category as does the 458.

Yup, he needs to slow down to be faster, if that makes sense? I imagine it'll be in the barriers pretty soon.
Sideways yo!

Backwards hopefully.

This guy would have put that plonker in his place and know doubt into the barriers and with some very nice smooth driving!

How is the rs3 in the first video managing to bounce off the redline despite being tiptronic?  :evilgrin:

In the RS cars, it doesn't shift up automatically when in 'M', so you can bounce the car on the rev limiter. All other implementations of DSG will auto-shift when you approach the rev limit.

I got scared watching that and turned it off @ about 3 mins in :chicken: he was an absolute idiot and shouldn't be allowed on the ring :fighting: The guy in the M3 did the right thing to let him go :congrats: which is all I saw up to.

I know some people get carried away with the whole ring business but when it is endangering lives the people in question should be banned off there...same with all other circuits Europe and the UK.

... Watching him doesn't fill you with confidence does it. He looks like he's gonna stack it every corner.
