    That ST driver deserves a massive shout out. In the roll race you can see how ridiculous his shifting is to be able to keep up with a DSG. Anyone who’s raced against a DSG in a manual knows how every gear change can “shoot” the DSG forward. Fair play to the lad!

    Two things I took from this was that the focus was definitely the faster car as once he was in 4th gear he was either pulling back or indeed pulling ahead as third gear appeared to struggle with getting on full as quickly. And secondly the golf r driver was a little happy on the roll races and definitely left early.
    Either way great battle guys

    Sams focus is amazing. I think a lot of us can drop our cars off to a tuner then run quarter miles in a DSG consistently. But not many of us could build a 4x4 focus like he did and run great times in a manual. I'll have the focus, lots more drama and fun in that thing 😎👍

    If that focus had flat foot shift I reckon these 2 would be even all the way on the 1/4 drag. The seamlessness of the dsg shift is the only variable separating things on that race but the roll race was fucked by the focus messing up the rolling launch timing. Both weight and power exactly the same and I’d imagine torque figures are nearly identical. But this goes to show what everyone knows golf R stage 2 are literal cheap supercar killers.
