Yeah, it was obviously it’s 4wd which helps. It was also a while ago and I probably wouldn’t have been pushing it as hard as I do the Lotus. Partly because if I smashed it up I wouldn’t be able to get to work 😂
The R8 was my daily driver, and it was obviously better than the Lotus for that. But as a track car the Lotus blows it away. The R8 was very heavy and you could definitely feel that.
Great stuff Paul. Do you still have the Lotus? Glad to see you went manual on the R8 too!!!
This is an old video mate. The R8 was my daily driver 7 years ago. I’ve still got the Lotus 🙂
Seems a little well behaved compared to the Lotus Paul?

How does it compare to the Lotus? Which do you prefer?
