I Struggle with Traction Off the Line

I'm going to do it again because he just bogged down my launcher's awful yeah I mean this holds at like one and a half thousand revs if that oh very even off the line not bad considering that's front wheel drive. Oh crap, I was not expecting this well, that is definitely that got beaten by the Audi so you got off the line pretty well there Audi.

And then you just stayed ahead and kept on pulling I think that's the earliest I've ever had to come off the brake in order to charge a devil on a gearbox but yeah I managed to do it. So, when looking at the countdown, how long do you think that delay is sometimes I go on one, I think I was on two then to be honest it was a long old time between coming off the break and actually moving away wow, two seconds delay of taking off.

Well, when you got it right you could see what happened it beat the BMW. Wow, so then what exactly happened while the Audi did the standing quarter mile in 15.1 seconds while the BMW took 15.4 seconds. Okay, now we're gonna have a rolling race I'm gonna put the cars into comfort mode and stability off and normal drive for the gearbox running race from 50 miles an hour.

Let's see what happens okay then let's go, let's get up to 50 miles an hour and I'll call it in 50 cruising. Three two one, go very similar on kick down there but the Audi is just going no two ways about it seems like it's got the stronger engine oh, and it's keeping on pulling as well that's 100.

All right, that's enough, I get the idea. I lost that so how was that for you? Was the gearbox all right kicking down this was a bit slow-ish they seemed to wake up that time to be honest it was much quicker all right kick down then obviously got ahead and stayed ahead yeah, much snappier.

Now we're going to have another rolling race but this time we're going to put the cars into manual mode and I'm gonna put them in the sportiest settings right you ready getting to third 50 miles an hour manual shifting. We're gonna count it in, you're ready three two one go this picked up pretty good come on yeah it is just edging past now no I think I've lost again that's enough, I get the idea.

You won that well it was quite close to begin with but then you just eased ahead yeah my extra six horsepower and 20 newton meters there showing what it does best and you're slightly less weight as well sorry I've got that okay then brake test from 70 miles an hour when we hit the line full emergency stop right here we go.

We're at 17, 17. Gone all northern don't know why where's the lion? It's getting dark now, i can barely see where's this line oh there it is yes I want one and I lost my radios down here almost went under the brake pedal that wouldn't have been good would it clear to say I won that yay.
