Nice, a place I haven't visited yet
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
That back narrow section must've been pretty hairy in that wide beast ?
Lovely part of the country though
I imagine it's very scary in something like a zonda or Aventador

Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
Yeah I was kissing a lot of cats eyes that's for sure.
Tbh, after having done it in an RS 3 and RS 5, the RS 3 as much as I despised it, is the best out of the 3 for attacking Welsh B roads
R8 V10 - too wide and toooo fast!
RS 5 - too heavy and not enough torque
RS 3 - feels like a to kart on these roads and DSG and turbo torque make for swift progress, and 4wd grip and it's unstoppable on these roads and I can happily say the RS 3 would leave my V10 for dust on these roads....yes we know it under steers like a biatch but on a public road at NSL you do t really push the car beyond its limits of grip.

Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
Sounds like you had fun though DK. I did it the other year in my M3 and it was unbelievable. The car and roads went hand in hand, absolutely amazing. Need to give it a go in the B7 now too really.
Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
B7 will be great on it.
I did miss a manual transmission also
If you fancy meeting up when you go give me a shout

Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
I agree about rs3 being the perfect sized car for up there, or even TTRS
Rs4 was good, but either a bit too big or where the roads are bumpy, it got chucked about a bit
Was fun in my old TVR, but you were expecting to travel backwards into a field or granite wall at any moment

Re: R8 does EVO Triangle
Having driven an RS4 and S3 back-to-back down the same B road, I had so much more confidence through corners in the S3 on 18s than the RS4 on 20s. RS4 is 8.5 cm wider in the wings than the S3 - probably over 10cm wider wheel rim to wheel rim. Sounds daft, but the S3 felt like my S4 and 205 rolled into one.HYFR wrote:Yeah I was kissing a lot of cats eyes that's for sure.

Have no idea how owners of RS4s on 20s don't wreck your alloys down country lanes and through tiny rural villages! Rims felt so exposed

Vspokes stick out past the tyres more than rotas. On my old RS4, first wheel got scraped on 2nd or 3rd day of ownership ! dohIan_C wrote:Having driven an RS4 and S3 back-to-back down the same B road, I had so much more confidence through corners in the S3 on 18s than the RS4 on 20s.
