Focused hot hatch keeps up with fast but relatively unfocused Audi on B road corners shocker.

Its clearly escaped you but this is a different scenario entirely.

I'd wager you would in any number of more focused road cars assuming equally competent drivers. Yes, the Audi is undoubtedly reasonably quick in a straight line. But under more challenging driving conditions, and not necessarily totally high speed related driving conditions (to pacify those snowflakes on here who might be offended by anyone possibly killing bunnies on the public road over 70mph lol), things would rapidly start to go downhill (literally) : for the Audi.

Especially a road similar to this. Ok, a little extreme but you get my point. It would all be about max possible speed on the straights, best performance on braking, turn in and cornering capabilities together with optimum weight distribution under power and out of corner acceleration under max tyre limits.

Anyone who thinks the Audi wouldn't be way out of its depth needs to have a serious word with themselves.

That road is so extreme any advantage the super car has would be negated.

It’s actually a perfect one shot opportunity for a car like the TT, point squirt, fire out of the corners.

Yes it would be hard on the front tyres and brakes (ceramics would help) but that’s probably the only difference of note.

If that's the Lysevegen Road (looks like it), then it's one every petrol head should experience. Great fun in a lightweight low powered car, or even better, a motorcycle. Something with very adjustable and playful handling at low speeds is essential. Also a convertible is great on the way up, given the extra visibility

Like all of Norway's public highways, the misery speed limits and enforcement mean it's best just to sit back and enjoy the lovely scenery.

Ha thanks for repeating the obvious yet again.

Fully aware noone buys an Audi for track use you included despite you continually and delusionally banging the Audi drum lol thats why I explained the road use scenario.

But once more you have completely missed my point or rather chosen to ignore it which does makes you look a bit of a tit but there you go your choice.

The funny thing is, nobody is actually criticising the GT3, it’s universally liked. On the flip side the rational amongst us can see the TT RS for what it is. Nobody is ‘banging the Audi drum’, but objectively it’s a fast car.

I’m sorry you’re not getting the attention you think you deserve

I think it is.

I watched a chap do it first hand once in a KTM XBow, a car with all the ingredients you mention.

Quite the experience !

Agreed.

You didn’t by chance do it on a PHT formerly PN tour did you ?

Yes sure, a mid-engine v10 supercar is 'unfocused'. I'm also certain that you're aware of the fact the r8 ran around the nurburgring in 7 mins 44 secs and that's not far off the mk1 gt3's. The v10 plus version actually posted a faster time than even the mk2 997 gt3. So by your logic the gt3 wasn't really focused up until the 991 gen car came out.

BS doesn't get much better than that.

That looks like a fantastic bit of road. I think I would enjoy that in any car.

As predictable as time itself. There you have it, in a nutshell.

The Atlantic road.

We bumped into a testing team from AMG with the SLS E Cell on that several years ago

What route did you take to get there? Im guessing it was an overnight trip on a ferry?

Yep, you’ve failed again. Reverting to silly insults when faced with reality.

Pah, all you saddos going on about how good your GT2 or GT3 is, or you weirdos thinking you could keep up in a TTRS - I would absolutely slaughter the lot of you in my SR Nova. If I got any of you on a properly fast twisty road - NONE of you would have a clue which way I went............. (as I've already careered @rseways through a hedge, and can no longer be seen from the road).

Max Power Boi!! Wooohoooo!!! Get me to Halfords, sharpish!!

At the time there was an overnight ferry from Harwich to Denmark, a drive through half of DK and then another ferry to Christiansand in southern Norway.

On our way back the ferry was out of action having hit the dock wall in Harwich which meant a long drive from Northern DK to Eindhoven and then tunnel home the next day.

The ferry route has since been decommissioned entirely so it takes a fair bit of driving to get there and back now.

Ouch! He’s brought out the pcp big gun!

It was only a matter of time.

Anyway, as the thread is OT, thanks to ‘richer than yow’ and his permatan, I can recommend these two roads.

Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland, driven it and cycled a fair chunk. When it’s dry it is amazing, winter is a bit brutal. Not too far away and pretty relaxed.



And Masca, Tenerife. Incredible road, best suited to cycling or motorcycles. Not once did a GT3 get past the bicycle



The last stage of it is around 20-25%, a bit painful but epic all the same.

As much as I dislike PCP, don't forget there are cars from certain brands that are more often than not 'considered' to be purchased on PCP deals, like this ttrs, but still are enjoyable to drive.
