FL5 HONDA CIVIC Type R vs Mk8 VW Golf R / Flying Lap Comparison / Anglesey International 29.05.23

This is awesome. Good editing. What’s your take on both cars when it comes to driving them to their limits? Some cars are fun, other feel like a workout, others feel like you’re trying not to die or lose control.

For me the Type R is all about entry speed whereas the Golf thrives come corner exit. The Civic is louder and the ride is firmer and the manual box means you have more to do - some people will love that. The Golf takes far less effort and beats you up less but, thanks to the new AWD system, it never feels boring. Both are incredibly capable on track and brilliant fun! 👍

@@TrackAli thanks for the feedback!

How do you feel about the fl5’s Nurburgring record? I saw you drive with Misha and him mention you in his video concerning the lap time.

[@TrackAli]

It was a truly fantastic lap but there are discrepancies between the spec of the record car and the regular production car. We'll need to wait and see whether Honda address these discrepancies with the forthcoming S variant.

[@Daniel-tx2vt]

imo it has no record since no one can buy that car.

Fl5 wasn't stock when it was recorded.

[@racer247]

Would love to see what the cars can do on the exact same tires type and specs width 255 on both cars. 🤔

[@Operator6969]

Would be better for golf r to use the same spec of tires as the rs3 265 front and 245 rear with the same tires as the type r and for sure it will do a difference.

[@racer247]

@@Operator6969 Agreed

Imagine the battle with same tyres, golf would be faster.
