Oh so you get like 30 times points for winning on the Nordschleife? Wow now thats pathetic.

Because "Nordschleife" is more important i think.And you get more points from it.

I don't get it, why does the Scirocco only get 10 point, while winning on 3 out of 5 tracks???

Just noticed that it's fwd vs awd.
Wasn't the Chirocco built from begin on as a sportscar? Why does it have fwd? Couldn't they build that into the PQ35 base?

Given the far lower weight I'd expect the Scirocco to be much better.
