    Very great job guys! Thank you very much for the pedal camera and for the footwork of Nate! It's very informative and interesting! For your next videos on track, it could be possible to keep a camera on the pedalbox to film footwork please? :D

    What a gorgeous machine. PROPER touring car spec. Someone needs to scan this and turn it into a CF bodykit. Would that be legal?

    It’s really a shame that this car looks so much more aggressive than any other TCRs but I only ended up with a RS3 TCR cuz theres no chance getting this one. Whats worse is that Audi had stopped customer racing program as well…

    The MK8 TCR lives on as the KL Leon TCR, and Max Kruse Racing also run a MK8 TCR in Germany.

    Nice video. The oil pan was steel, is´t the same steel oil pan that can be bought for the street car mk7 and mk8 ?

    It was on its way to crush competition on the track, in typical VW fashion. At least the development was not lost, as some of it made into the CUPRA.

    They have to come Back again next year, the Car was very fast , maybe they can Install all wheel Drive and maybe more horsepower

    Imagine if they used a DCT that they use in the rs3, would be even faster.

    Would have loved to get the street GTI TCR in the US, but then again we are the step child of the automotive world 😞

    Is this the car that just raced the N24 and won it's class or was that a different chassis?

    Lmao at the zip ties, most of my cars have been held together with many zip ties 😂 good enough for VW good enough for me 😋

    Anyone who would be realistically disappointed has the money to buy an MK8 and make one themselves or have it done at a shop, still cool though...

    C'mon, theres no break ducts on street cars?

  • @justinlabarge8178
    @justinlabarge8178 Před 2 měsíci

    I'm surprised they used a manual in place of a dual clutch. Any reason for that?
    Dual clutch weights more, but they had ballast in the car.
