Rs4 5th gear in 20 mins

[adsgreen]

yep disapointed was hoping for somthing more indepth but it was a positive review from an ex race driver

Vbh? If so then whilst technically a 'driver' in a 'race' I wouldn't use the term 'racing driver' about.

ok maybe a stretch to say racing driver but she was and instructor at silverstone and i would rate her feed back of a car more than the orangutan on top gear
and as above mags are usaly better at the reviews

Yes she was a racing driver and instructor but having seen her drive "in the flesh" as it were I'd label "average at best". Mr Plato and Mr Needell are in a whole other league.
If VBH wasn't a chick I doubt very much she'd be anywhere in the industry.

That aside, do you want a racing driver to evaluate cars like the RS4? Tricky.
Most will be after a very specific set of handling traits and more often then not a degree of oversteer with great balance that really can only be tamed by suitably skilled and experienced people. The downside to having cars setup for racing drivers is that they make them a bit nevrous for us mere mortals. Granted, electronics have come quite a way to blurring this distinction but I see it as a similar argument as testing on the Nurburgring. It's not relevant to drivers on the road or other circuits.

Hmm... perhaps VBH isn't so bad after all in that she kinds sits in the middle.

Hmm... perhaps VBH isn't so bad after all in that she kind of sits on my knob.

lol. FIXED in accordance to your new-found love of VBH.

I've seen VBH drive, and I'd say (in my completely unqualified opinion) average at best too
I was a bit disappointed with the depth of the review, but at least it appeared positive
