We met up with Brian Smith at EuroKracy, Montreal (Instagram - @funwithfrozie). He has an awesome MK7 GTI that he is slowly turning into a racecar. We went over what he has done with the car and talked about his previous involvement with Hoonigan's. He also explains how he started and why he wants to be a racecar driver!

    @miro So the wing on car will function on any car. Drivetrain doesn't matter. Essentially the wing is helping the rear of the car stay planted and cut through the air. I also have a front splitter that also increases downforce of the car. my car will oversteer if pushedto the limits. In actuality the wing makes the biggest difference under braking. The reward pressure allows the car to stay stable under braking with release into the corner. Check out TCR or WTCR cars! Aero is Aero!
