1) I hope you are okay Alex after that! It looked horrible!
2) I hope that was mechanical failure rather than driver error!
3) If it was driver error - please don't do it again!! (You just need to bend your toes, not hit the gas & you do have brakes - use them, or even better take your foot off the gas a bit earlier!) I am kidding by the way, I'm sure you are a way better racing driver than me , I really do hope you're okay though with nothing more than hurt pride!
4) It can happen to the best of us, don't let it put you off motor sports! I've only written off 2 cars My bad! One was a stripped down, tuned Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI - God I loved that car, absolutely fabulous at cornering - damn trees - LOL! Sometimes you just crash - be happy you walk away, just cry for the car....
5) Good luck Alex! It takes real guts to race! God bless you!

1 GTI, 100 GoPro cameras, 100+ hours of footage for.... what? Something that could have been literally done in 5 seconds in photoshop? I love me some VW GTI but jesus, what a waste of time for everyone involved

So much work for a crappy pay off.... (Personal Opinion) Sorry... All that just to spell out GTI? Come on...

This could of been something epic.

We have an American Military Base, German Car, Japanese driver.
Just a little subtle hint at something?

Work with me here....

I believe the Golf Mk7 is all FSI and TDI, yes.

The 2.0 TDI has made the 2.5 obsolete. The TDI has an 81 ft-lb torque advantage, a weight advantage, and gets about +10mpg.

I picked up a JSW TDI 2 months ago and, while it's not quite as flashy as a GTI, it's a damn nice drive. It's my second TDI in a row and I don't see any reason to go back to gasoline any time soon.

The GTI'll probably be similarly equipped (which is the one I hope to get), but no I don't think the standard Golf will be. I had heard that the Golf 7 in NA will be like the new Jetta, slightly cheaper in production (no soft touch dash, rear suspension, etc) but sold cheaper. Worked well for them with the Jetta. They're everywhere.

But on the vw.ca website, the promo pics of the Golf 7 have a TSI badge on it. Maybe they're doing away with the 2.5 engine?
