Nice video mate, does the stopwatch start automatically when you start moving or do you need to press it?

I have a dtuk box so i confirm its great but im amazed by your traction. My potenzas under hard acceleration just light up the tyres. Quickest i got to 60 was 6.7 but hard to nail first gear.
And stopwatch you need to press to start and to stop...pretty hard to do when concentrating on a good start,the road and the speedo as well as police ha

You don't need to press to start and stop the timer... When you go to the lap timer on the MFD press the down arrow then it goes to 'since start'

press ok button, then it'll say 'start measuring time when driving off' and it'll start as soon as you boot it.

As for my tyres, yeah I'm very impressed with them, glad mine didn't come fitted with bridgestones.

1st gear is a pain in the arse to get any traction from. If they didn't spin up so much it'd shave another few 10ths of the 0-60 time I reckon

Ahhhhh right,quality. Didnt realise that! Still learning ha.  Road out by the parents il be able to practice on. I either drop the clutch to quickly or light the tyres up...happy medium. A lot harder with manual but with good tyres as you say i think a 6.5 is on the cards. Keen to see a dtuk gtd vs a gti pp
