Rep Power: 30   |  VW Polo lifting its rear wheel off the track in some episode I remember some episode of Top Gear where a light, powerful car drives around the track and lifts off it's rear wheel in corners. Now I wonder what car that was (I remember some red VW Polo but that can be all wrong) and in which episode that was? Somebody has an idea? thank you! |

Car: R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, Falcon XR6 Ute Rep Power: 20  | The car you are looking for is the Renault Clio Sport Cup, and was featured in episode [04x06] (13/06/2004) Although, while particularly pronounced on the Clio, you will find that phenomena on most sporty front wheel drive setups. Even some 4WD setups read: Lancer Evo.

Rep Power: 30 | It was indeed this Renault Clio I was looking for, thank both of you very much! (great memory!). My memory isn't that great it seems, as it isn't a polo but a clio, not a VW but a Renault, and not red but blue

Car: R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, Falcon XR6 Ute Rep Power: 20 | There was a red Golf GTi on last season, that may have been scrambling your thoughts...
