Lol iv just been watching these doing drift battles etc

Good watch, although I can't help questioning the drivers capabilities. If it's rigged then the Japs really don't like Golfs lol.

loving the foot work at about 4.37. Whats that called?

Commonly known as heel and toe mate, means you can break smoothly as well as blipping the throttle for a smooth transision between gears, takes a while to learn, iv bent my Clio's pedals by doing it lol

DSG Box in the golf seems like a good setup in that vid..

 

[Russ_16v]

Thats because it is mate, it took a few miles for me to get used to it, and yes it doesnt have the 'soul's of a manual, but overall its a great system

LOL
Were you wearing steel-toes or something! I found the 172 was really good for heel toe.....1.6 focus is not

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol its taken 40,000 miles (bearing in mind mines 134k total now) and i noticed the other day iv worn the accelerator pedal down through the rivets and the right hand side of the brake pedal lip is bent over, guess i push hard on the side when i heel and toe and when im braking normally lol

Driving it as they should be driven

OIC! bent the brake pedal over a touch. I did that to mine too mate, i thought you meant bent the pedal arms.

What i was thinking! A standard 225 megane isnt that quick.

Its shot kind of like a soap opera

good video, though does look rigged... I know the DC5 is good, but is it really so much quicker in all areas than the others? Also lets not forget that was a 225 not an R26, so no slippy diff.

Lol not yet.....

thats true mate, though i would have thought they are all fairly well matched, maybe down to the drivers?

Wow DC5 won.
