RSR RAW: 2018 Honda Civic Type R vs Seat Leon Cupra R - Spa Francorchamps

Two of the best FWD hot hatches ever made, two RSRSpa instructors behind the wheel and an iconic F1 track as the background!
Earlier this year we bought our Honda Civic Type-Rs knowing that the Japanese hot hatch has proven its worth on the Nurburgring, shuttering the FWD lap record. However that doesn't mean we aren't always searching for interesting cars to add in our fleet. The Leon Cupra R Limited Edition is certainly the best fast Seat we've ever driven. Both cars featuring sharp handling, big brakes, 2.0 turbocharged engines and six speed manual transmissions with the Seat a bit slower on paper, 306 hp compared to the Civic's 320 hp. However we found them actually performing quite similar on track. In the end it was the Honda that slightly edged out the Seat, with a better balanced chassis and slightly superior brakes. But you don't have to take our word for it, enjoy the raw onboard laps and decide for yourself!
