seems to understeer quite a bit - has to use trail braking to tip the front in a lot. I assume not on r888s or something then

think it will be bog standard car (dont no what tyres but it wont have r888s from factory). Obviously not scared about throwing the car around, but i thought he looked abit agressive and at some points and could of gone faster?

You can drive like that with FWD cars with diffs breh.
I'm willing to bet that the new Astra VXR will be faster

I had to turn it off because it sounded like the camera was eating a bag of sweets. Annoying as fuck. Also judging by the big Bridgestone sticker on the dash I doubt it was running toyos.
Renault sport ftw

Deffo has a diff, but on road tyres I reckon.
That was a very good and quick lap with some good skills in it.
I think that will be tough to beat.

that is really impressive driving  i'd have shit it @ 3:10 in the car. sliding downhill into a corner.
can see people saying about some understeer, i'd expect to see some while a car is being driving at its edge imo.
really good car

Evo Magazine are reporting that the car was on Bridgestone Potenza RE05 performance street tyres, and that the interior is wholly stock. Fans of the previous record holder, the R26.R, will no doubt remember that particular special model Megane as a plastic-windowed, stripped-out race car.
Awesome car, really impressive for what is a much more road going car than the R26-R
