Yes, I know.. there is another thread. But the topic is wrong and people who really wants to see this clip might miss it. So I made a new one, hope the mods don't dislike... :hihi:

Just like Tiff himself, I didn't expect him to like the handling that much. It might be the first time he drives a 4WD, and doesn't mention it would be better off being RWD.

Was talking to a very talented racing driver yesterday, someone with Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona etc. experience at the highest levels and he said that in most cases a RWD car will be the quicker on a track compared to an AWD car, say an M3 compared to a S4 but for anything other than a professional race driver the AWD will always be the quicker.

So, here's my take on his statement. 'The guy driving a rwd hi-performance car think they are a great driver but ultimately will be the slower than the guy who thinks he's an OK driver who drives an awd car' :D

As for the R8, he's driven it and he's opinion is that the car is one of the best balanced road cars he has ever driven. Very high praise indeed.:bow:
