it really never ceases to amaze me with the corner speed and grip the R32 has got, especially tuned right. There were moments it was being pushed hard and it was totally on point

[@jimmyh8228]

One of the best laps I’ve seen. And I’ve seen A LOT! the way that car rotates, and has just enough lag for it to turn and hook up before the boost comes, so satisfying to see. I’d love to have a go of one of these classics, I’m a race engineer and classic car enthusiast, I have a mk2 escort, but I appreciate the 90s turbo beasts!! Love it, great video, and good driving too 👍🏻

[@ThorDyrden]

Love the sound... not simply chubby loud, but just powerfull and hearing the powertrain and all the differentials work to retain grip and deliver the engine's power is bonkers.

Also great to see how it sends torque to the front when on boost. (afaik the R32 is RWD and can distribute up to 50% torque to the front when the rear wheels have slip)
