In today's drag race,
we have two cars with huge fan bases. On the one side the Golf 8 GTI
in the Clubsport variant. And the Hyundai i30 N. Let's go. I believe I'll win the soundcheck today. Yeah. You definitely have the advantage there. I have 0 chance against that. I don't know how in this day and age,
a car that loud is possible.
It's pretty loud, your turn. But to be fair we drove that one here, that one isn't bad either. But this one is a statement. Yours sounds better from the outside too. When stationary mine isn't too good, but as we said when driving, it's really loud. It's fun. Alright, guys.
I'll be driving the Hyundai. And it'll be a challenge for sure. Because Tobi has launch control. And also automatic. I also have a launch control, but… you have to do it by foot. You can set your rpm that's pretty neat. But we also don't have the best conditions. Things are drying up. My tarmac is a bit better we made sure of that. We think the Hyundai might need an advantage. But we'll lower the revs a little. I think things will be better then. This one has a 4-cylinder engine, with 275 hp. And 378 NM. A little over 1.4 tons. A little less power than Tobi. But also less weight. Alright, Golf 8 GTI. 300 hp with 400 nm. Pretty easy specs. This one is front wheel drive. An in-line 4-cylinder engine.
I build in here. And our weight is 1461 kg. Those are the specs. I'll be having fun with this beautiful car. Speeding on this airbase. Beautiful. Did you tell them about the specs? I told them mine, yes. 82 kg and 179 cm tall. And an absolute unit. Guys can someone take over
my job in these drag races? I can't bear it no more with Tobi. I'm done. Hello hello? Alright I'm in D,
handbrake is disengaged. Alright. Okay, the car has to be in n-mode. Esc in sport. And let's go. A good start. But I have so much wheelspin. Oh damn. My goodness. That wasn't to clearly at the beginning,
but now… It's so damn windy. Come on, come on! A little wheelspin, but hey… My goodness. To be honest I thought it'd be a lot clearer. Well, yes and no. My initial take off was really good. I think my reaction and start was good, but then I had so much wheelspin. I had some wheelspin as well, In the beginning I thought I screwed up.
For whatever reason, as you were right next to me. I thought damn, but in the end, as the track got dryer. I was fine. What was your 0-100? 5.3 seconds. And the quarter mile in 13.26. I had 7.2 0-100. I promise you some i30 N drivers
will start writing comments now. And will flame me for the launch. It's so hard, guys. Yeah, damn. The conditions are changing so much. When we arrived all was wet. And now it's starting to dry. It's so hard to get used to. And how to have the best start. So this launch isn't really an advantage. Okay it'll help you for the first seconds. But as soon as you release the clutch, and the wheels get traction, but then you have high slip.
Well I'm happy as I won this one. For today’s drag race,

The start was way better. A little bit of a wind punch. But at higher speeds he has no chance. At first, I really thought,
that this would be my start now. I got this. But this car has just so much wheelspin, I'll have to try and regulate
the launch down a little.
But… I first gear you just have way too much wheelspin. I don't know if it might make sense
to shift a bit earlier. My 0-100 was 6.4. I mean it's faster but still. A little too slow. I have to say we were head-to-head
for quite some time. I have the feeling you got going better, from the start. But at higher speeds, you lacked a little power. But you should try shifting
earlier in the last 800-meter run. What was your 800-meter time? My 0-100 was 5.2, and the 800 meter in 20.44. To be honest that 5.2 is bloody fast, right? Isn't factory specification 5.8 seconds? Something like that, yes.
It's way faster than that.
Really sick. I wouldn't have thought that it is this obvious. I have to say it, well apart from the start. But at higher speeds… That GTI goes crazy. To all of you who aren't subscribed, better do that now. It's free and supports us. We do our best here, let's keep going. Come on! Come on! Had a little worse of a start, but at higher speeds,
you can see the Golf GTI power. Well at least… I improved a little bit. Okay I have to confess I am beat. I tried everything. I tried this time without any launch at all. And it really was my best 0-100 time at 6.3. But I just don't know,
how to get this car faster off the start.
It doesn't matter that wouldn't
have made the difference. I improved my 800-meter time a little, I had 21.98 seconds. What was your best time so far? 20.30 was my best one so far. So yeah, the difference is quite substantial. More than I would have thought. Let's go for a rolling race. And then let's go home. That's it. "Three" "Two" "One" "GO" No way. Guys, I tried my best. The initial punch was a little better. But now…
Tobi won today. Damn I hate losing the drag races. Okay Tobi victory is yours. That'll be it for today. That's what winners look like. Big thank you to Rafi for the Golf GTI Clubsport.
