Ciao everyone, here it's Marchettino.
Today I'm in the temple of speed, Monza and guess what?
I've got some Jags to play with!
I've been invited by my friends at BiAuto to join Jaguar Italy on this private trackday event here today.
I'm going to experience the F-Type R AWD which I already drove back in the days
but this is gonna be my first time with the F-Type R around the track.
It's gonna be very interesting because finally I get to unleash the full potential of this car in a proper place!
Go!
Can I use the manual gear change? - Yeah sure!
When you get closer to the other car just let me know before you overtake
Get closer!
Leave the foot off the throttle!
Not on the curb!
Just brake once
You know why this? - Yeah?
Brake, leave the brake, brake, leave the brake - Oh, ok!
When you hit the brake, just do it once.
Brake!
Keep the brake until the apex,
if you do it without breaking you lift the front and understeer, keep the brake until the apex!
Brake! Continue and leave the foot gradually, keep it until here a little bit!
It helps you to keep it down. Slow down so we can cool down the brakes.
I really had much fun driving the F-Type R AWD around the circuit of Monza!
I just wish I had the opportunity to switch the manettino in Dynamic and shut the electronics completely off
but the instructor said " No, you can't! U crazy?! "
Anyway, I am amazed by the AWD system of the F-Type because
it completely changes the behavior. I really like it, it's fun and yet very safe to drive even though this car is very savage,
the way it delivers the power is so brutal but the AWD makes it much much safer to drive, even for the drivers that don't have much driving skills.
As you might have noticed, part of the track wasn't completely dry but the F-Type felt very balanced,
The AWD system delivers up to 50% of the power to the front tires when needed,
Positive also to feel that the electronics is not invasive for the power delivery.
I really wanna say thanks to my friends at BiAuto, as well as Jaguar Italy for this opportunity, it has been a great day!
I hope you guys did enjoy the video and make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more
