I think this will be a close one :thumbs:

The Mini will lose unless a passenger (preferably big) is added to the A1 :idea:

Good luck and let us know how it goes, those A1s are very quick :thumbs:
But anything is possible :rollsmile:

+1 Remember "it's not the gun....it's the guy behind the gun...." :fencelook:

Sorry bud but you going to lose this one guaranteed. Your car is heavier and down on power to the A1.
the A1 has the dsg gearbox and they launch very well unlike manual where you can mess it up.
If you had a JCW or software on your car it would have been a different story.

Get a tuner to give you a demo trial map for the night:rollsmile:

Please note that this thread will be moved to the TLGP section once race tales are being shared.

At the moment the OP is just asking for advise, hence the reason why it is not yet in the TLGP section.

I don't think the poster has enough posts to submit or access TLGP Section :fencelook:

Sooooooooo..... My friend just purchased an Audi A1 1.4TFSI and has challenged me and my Cooper S Clubman to a TLGP (on a private test track of course).... You must understand, everything we have ever stood for comes down to this moment and I MUST WIN!

The tale of the tape:

The turbo Cooper S has 125kw, 240NM (extra 20NM on overboost), weighs 1250kg and is manual.
The supercharged and turboed A1 has 136kw, 250NM, weighs 1100kg and is automatic (7 speed S-Tronic).

All in he has the power, weight and gearing advantage, but I should be able to out launch him.

I will be removing the rear seats tonight in an effort to drop some weight out of the car (he is also 20kgs lighter than me ) and I am adding some octane booster to get the most out of the fire breathing monster 4pot turbo 1.6.

Any other suggestions to get a few more meters on him bearing in mind I only have a few hours to implement!? :idea:

Don't you have the 2012 version?
That's 135 kw not 125 kw.
I still think race will be in favour of the A1 but it might be close if you do have the 135kw version.

Should be interesting. Good luck
Those A1s are pretty quick.

Not quite. 3 weeks of rain scuppered our plans. We did have an informal run (conditions were moist) the other morning and I can confirm it was even, more scientific research required. :=):
