Subaru Outguns Audi on The Skidpad

[ZakD]

Hey there,

Just wanted to share this interesting result from an event here in South Africa. The Subaru Owners club & Audi Owners club went head-to-head over the weekend to determine who was the King of the Skidpads. Subaru came out tops once again.

Excerpt and article link below.

"SOCSA Chairperson Nadia Singh commented that unfortunately for the Audi camp, all the driving styles were quick and aided in SOCSA’s (Subaru Owners Club SA) win. “The two different routes proved to be challenging for both clubs, the first of which favoured the hard-launching Subarus with its long straight section. The second route was a drifter’s dream with some long sweeps around the cones, all in the name of the fastest lap. However, the skidpan itself turned out to be the toughest opponent of all, with its different surface sections making the drivers work extra-hard to keep their times as quick as possible,” continued Singh.

Japan beats Germany by more than seven cumulative minutes"

Not sure what this has to do with the BRZ, but cool! Coming from someone who's owned and driven both, Subaru Symmetrical AWD and Audi quattro are both absolutely brilliant! But just to level the playing field a little, my friend in his mostly-stock 2001 S4 outgunned an entire field of Subarus at this year's Wicked Big Meet auto-x event, so I still don't see a clear winner between the two. Both are brilliant cars in their own segments.

Spoke to someone who did a track day with the BRZ and WRX STi and apparently the BRZ pulled better skidpad numbers.
