Taking a driving course is not a bad idea. I did that too. It was more about safety but they put us on a skid pad too. That was a lot of fun!
The R is also very well suited for heel-to-toe driving technique. The pedals are nice levelled and throttle response is quick enough to blip that engine on downshifts. Makes a lot of sense as well as you will save the flywheel and the clutch from premature wear. When you get used to it, you just do it without even thinking. Takes a bit of practice, but pays off dividend.
I have been reading some of your back catalogues about driving the R, so interesting, especially with you racing the TTs on the autobahn.
We have a TT just an average TDI and it feels heavy, but I do prefer the driving position to the R, the R seats don’t go low enough in my opinion but that’s only a small criticism, also I do like owning both.
I am thinking of getting an RS for a daily, how do they compare to the R at real world speed? am not talking from lights, but when moving and on the twisties?
I am assuming you chose the R over the TT for a very valid reason, I want to hear more of your adventure, so interesting….
Can I also just add in the UK I feel absolutely invincible in the R on any road, I-have never felt that with any car I have owned.
