8 min 07 is bloody fast round there. I managed a 9 min 04 last year which I thought was good.

It's an amazing time to say it understeers more than a supermarket trolley, even off the power! Very brave driver.

What is said on Youtube about this "understeering" :

It doesnt understeer any more than any RWD car. It only appears so in video. Watch lap videos of some other cars....like BMW M3, or Audi R8...they all seem to understeer too. Even Nissan GT-R looks like it understeers all the time since driver turns wheel too much and car doesnt seem to do anything. It only looks like that on videos.

And by the way, he turns wheel so much in some corners, not because car understeers (because then he would turn the wheel less, since more steering lock makes car understeer even more), he does it because the differential on this car is more effective when you turn the steering a bit more than you usually would in other cars, it will send more power to outside to the wheel that needs it the most.


@meganspecv Watch this video without sound. And then without tires squealing you will realize it really doesnt understeer, almost at all. It only understeers when the driver wants the car to understeer, and does it on purpose. This car grips in front like no other FWD car, and very few (maybe 5-6) other production cars that arent supercars can pull as much G-force in corners as Megane RS can. Even when it understeers , it still goes trough corner much faster than Golf R32, GTI, Audi S3, etc..
