Post by: CraigB on May 15, 2017, 10:10:09: I'm very much looking forward to the N's release, the hot hatch market really needs some new blood.

Would be nice to see it in a coupe version as well :fingers:

Post by: beerman on May 15, 2017, 19:42:56: Official timing data shows the Renault's final run took 54.75s, while the Hyundai recorded a 54.73s effort during filming at the track.

Imagine how it would have gone without all that plastic disguise stuff.....

Post by: Dazzler on May 28, 2017, 08:44:48: Love it... Seemed to have stopped, so I rewound the YouTube link and watched for a while. Seemed to be very smooth and quick. Passed a couple of flasher looking cars including a BMW just in the first 5 minutes or so. :victory:

You can see some comparisons if you look at the 2 cars results in the Free Practice PDF here...
