It also has a more direct driving rack brought over from the touring car. Upgraded brakes.

Which as the reviews say will make even better. On the track.

All the reviews I saw had the car run on 19" wheels. Put 18" wheels on where you have more sidewall and I think it's a fairer basis to consider for UK road use.

Just been to my dealers for another testdrive. Didn’t have both cars I wanted to look at but interestingly they said they expect the tcr within the month as it’s not unusual for them to have no information. ‘Vw are always very vague to say the least.’ Last time I asked them they said it’s concept only so there’s a shift in point of view.

They also increased my discount on an R or gti to around £6.4k and said they would transfer my deposit to a tcr if it comes. They’ve held my discount level for 2 months already. Can’t grumble!

 £6.4k discount, that's very good, much better than current drive the deal and Car Wow, how did you manage that?

Basically I went in with DTD quote in December which they matched. Then it’s the fact they’ve held it as prices have increased and then given a bit more today because I’m cheeky.

You might have to actually buy one at some point though....!  :grin:

I have been waiting to order a TCR. Contact in VW Milton Keynes has no useful info. Not sure it will come to UK now. I ha e just ordered an R as fed up of waiting.
