The little Golf, a biting wolf! A FWD, so very sensitive when it comes to the front tyres.
Very, because any too much throttle input when accelerating out of a bend is immediately and painfully penalised.
The tyres degrade faster than my modest physical condition at the age of 43 when I play football with my boys.
The motto with this vehicle is to approach everything as calmly and gently as possible, lift the accelerator a little
at the entrance to the bend to let the rear end come in.
What do you do when a FWD starts to oversteer? Right, you accelerate so that the FWD manoeuvres
you in the desired direction. So at the entrance to the bend, lift up sharply to let the rear end come in to
prepare for the entrance to the bend and then accelerate very slightly. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
But it's not at all. In addition, you have to be very keen to change gear, as the little one has 6 gears.
It's great fun, but at times it can also be very tricky to find the right timing.
It takes a lot of practice to drive the little one at the limit.
It's amazing how much the little one inspires me with its 193 bhp and 920 kg.
A really great challenge on small tracks.
FWD cars really are a world of their own that needs to be mastered first.
Very difficult to drive, but never demotivating.
Great work, as always Tamas!
