The Track is the Only Way to Understand the Subaru BRZ

So I brought the 2017 Subaru BRZ to Sanair speedway last weekend to test out its claimed seat-of-the-pants performance. Since the car now has 5 more horsepower, a reworked suspension and a shorter final gear, I figured I had all the firepower necessary to spend an afternoon at the track.

The BRZ is a car that must be experienced at the limit for it to be fully understood – so the racetrack was the obvious destination.

Although this was the first time I drove one, I was rather impressed with the car’s overall balance and fool-proof chassis dynamics. Even when purposely throwing it into a bend to get that rear end to go out, everything remained entirely controllable. That said, I must admit that during my time at the track, I became so confident, that I even attempted to take on some much more powerful competitors, such as this Campagna T-Rex.

While he was carefully massaging the throttle to prevent that rear wheel from lighting up, I’d have my Right Foot Down the entire time – my face paralyzed in grin mode.
