350 hp Audi S1... on Stock Brakes 😬 /Nürburgring

[@joshthelwell5988]

So surreal to see ,this exact car is actually my old S1 I never actually got to take it out on track at all like I had planned due to not getting around to doing a big brake kit yet so to see it doing a lap of the ring piloted by Misha is awesome.

I run similar setup and power on my S1 but with other pads fluid, lines and rotors. The stock pads were absolutely cooked after my first trackday. With real pads the stock calipers actually perform quite okay. Not great, but not terrible. Highly recommend that setup, if you don't wanna go all in with calipers and everything.

[@greyguy.960]

Never had mine on the track yet thought about just changing the pads myself . what would you recommend ?

[@johanjc]

@@greyguy.960 Depends on where you live and how you drive the car. Right now I'm daily-running a set of EBC yellowstuff. Good pad, but glaze up quite easily if you get them too hot after a long day of tracking. I run them only since I drive less on track now than before and also us the car 7 months during winter and they work well in cold weather. If you intend to just go track, EBC RP1 or RP-X work nice, but they won't work well during winter. Ferrodo have some good pads for track use aswell.

[@rarrdy]

Some dude made his career off sim racing so it definitely helps !

[@trafalgalaw777]

AC helped me alot, I could use 90% of my Knowledge from Sim racing when I was doing my first real life Laps. Also, if you´ve never been to the Nordschleife irl before, the elevation this track has will blow your mind :)

[@L03k1Boy]

VR does not show depth more than 10m I would say. Real life height differences and speed is way different...not even talking about the g forces lol. AC also gives you optimal grip which is less in real life unless you run michelin PS4s or something.

[@mgcharoudin]

[@sm4shy902]

Nice lap! In almost all your videos you do other lines before and after a corner compared to the other cars on the track. And some time you do other lines (it feels like). Im not a race car driver, but do you do different lines in different cars?

[@Antidepressiva1980]

Usually you do different lines based on the track surface conditions and the weather. There's always one optimal "dry" and one optimal "wet" line on the track. Combine these with traffic on the track and you get what you have observed. I hope i could help you out a bit✌

[@greyguy.960]

Yeah just got one of these, little rocket ships of a car, a bit of fibbing under the bonnet and now it's 320bhp. Which is enough for the b roads near my home in Easingwold York, Britain. Anything faster and you going to meet a tractor on these roads and it's doesn't end well. As my old car experienced.

[@greyguy.960]

, it's ok. Depending compared to what? A modern hot hatch yes not as good as a M2. Audi is a bit dull anyway I've found had a few rs models in the 3 model. But I am an 80s and 90s kid so compared to natural steering such as my old xr2's, rs turbo, Renault 5 Turbo S1 is modern steering with a bad feel. I know that doesn't help sorry :)

[@greyguy.960]

@iNSTAGiB it's just a bit better than average. I have been in older Swift and they are light cars it feels light, have responsive steering, and as said you can feel the load. Swift is a great car to place and they feel alive. Audis are duller as you say, it's not an Rs model just an S and it feels that way. But it's the better of the bunch I would say. It inspires confidence and it's a nice for a smaller fast car. I'm a bit older so I'm getting to the age I want comfort and speed The best way is to test-drive one in my opinion. I did and I was sold straight away. It's a great car since Audi lost the problem of understeering.
