I have a nice fast, quiet, gently tightening bend on a road local to me, good visibility and always fun.
Driven it many times and know it like the back of my hand.

Got a new car with a dual clutch.

Powered into the bend, enjoying the line, flicked up a gear and... no lag, no pause, no leeway! Suddenly carrying too much speed!
Pretty exciting moment.

These things change instantly and you have to adjust the power you're putting on.

The result of a slick DSG or the 650hp it's delivering?

Bit of both! These clutches do make a big difference though.

Agreed! I'm going through the same 'recalibration' phase with a new car at the moment.
It's clear to me that I'm as sharp as I ever was.....it's the car that's changed.....

Brad have you completed the miles yet?

Are you there for breakfast in the morning?
