Driving the Seat Leon Cupra 300. Last "Stock" Ride.

Good morning Carmrades! In today's video I will take you on a ride with our Cupra 300. Soon the car will be stripped and leave to that cage builder before we proceed with other serious mods. As of now, the car is almost stock with exception of:
- ProTrack Wheels
- Nankang AR-1 Tyres
- PFC Brake Pads
- Milltek Exhaust
Thanks for the ride ‪@RobertMitchell‬ !

Currently, even though the channel is yours what we see the most here is other people driving their cars (and I'm not saying I don't like it) so it'd be quite enjoyable to also watch videos of you driving both the Apex cars and the ring traktor more often.

There'd be times when you'd just want the convenience of driving in auto while you enjoy a beautiful sunny day of Touristenfahrten.

    I'm sure the 300 uses the 7 speed DSG and I have to agree it seems very indecisive in this video. I have a 2016 290 with the 6 speed, I tend to use the paddles all the time but even leaving it alone with the box in sport, it holds the gears very well and I have never noticed it behaving like this.

    Even in sport mode, the DSG (and most auto gearboxes) is awefull if driven hard. All those downshifts because the revs are too low mid corner. Only a few manufacturers, like Porsche seem to offer something descent in auto mode.... Tumb down for the gearbox, otherwise, I enjoyed as usual ;-)

    I'd say so. I have a Cupra 290 (17 Plate) which was almost £10K less than a Golf R on the used market at the time. I've driven both and the Golf R is quicker off the mark but the Cupra isn't far off and feels more involving round the corners. Also the Cupras are a lot cheaper to insure in my experience, probably because the Golf R is one of the most stolen cars in the UK and probably one of the most crashed as well.

    I wonder how well a specially designed helmet would work. I’m thinking something along the line of having a small camera in the chin area (like actually part of the helmet, so nothing interferes with the driver). The POV should see more of the track, while maintaining the view of steering inputs and such.
