    Thumbs down Not A Gti To Be Found!!!

    I've been watching the 12 hr Bathurst race and there's no

    VW GTI'S in section D which is the hot hatch class. Surely VW should of been

    flying the flag for the Best Performance Car under $60 grand for only the last

    3 consecutive years in Australia.


    I feel better now thanks for reading!

    cheers,

    LUKE

    Yup, no VW or Audi. Letting the side down. I`d also like to have seen an A4 Quattro in the 4wd class and maybe a V8 Audi to Give the Falcodores a run

    Late post I know, but you're dreaming. That 130i has won championships and races against Kosi's MKv GTI and the 130i has been untouchable in its class at Bathurst.

    The Mazda MPS3 would be a better match, but honestly, the MkV would get destroyed by the Searle 130i.

    I have no idea about how they would go against the 130 in Australia.

    Different rules / different classes.

    Certainly in the US, the turbo cars are heavily restricted (power) and severely handicapped with weight as well. Not sure what the parity rules are here in Australia.

    Good news is they have just won their first race - first professional victory for a VW in the US for over 25 years!
