I'm very much looking forward to the N's release, the hot hatch market really needs some new blood.

Would be nice to see it in a coupe version as well

Thanks Neville good find!

Official timing data shows the Renault's final run took 54.75s, while the Hyundai recorded a 54.73s effort during filming at the track.

Imagine how it would have gone without all that plastic disguise stuff.....

True!

It's fast, fun and flexible. It's a proper hot hatch.

If any interested, the i30N has a camera onboard & live streaming from Nurburgring now (car #92)
Looks to be traveling well!!

Direct link up hopefully works

Dazzler · **Reply #14: May 28, 2017, 08:44:48**

Love it... Seemed to have stopped, so I rewound the YouTube link and watched for a while. Seemed to be very smooth and quick. Passed a couple of flasher looking cars including a BMW just in the first 5 minutes or so.

You can see some comparisons if you look at the 2 cars results in the Free Practice PDF here...
