2018 Hot Hatch Mega Test
Is there a more vibrant and diverse segment on the market right now than that labelled ‘hot hatch’? In fact, is it technically a segment at all, but rather a broad net cast wide enough to include a $25K compact-sized Suzuki Swift Sport at one extreme and larger, circa-$80K Audi RS3s and Merc-AMG A45s at the other? And that’s just hatchbacks. When cross-shopping pocket rockets, there are also sedan (Subaru WRX STI), coupe (BMW M2) and wagon (AMG CLA45 Shooting Brake) alternatives to consider as well. The go-fast hatch goalposts are also perpetually moving: today’s ‘warm hatch’ is yesterday’s ‘hot’, the current ‘hot’ is the new ‘hyper’, and traditional hyper-hatch spearheads – gen-II Renault Megane RS, say – look to inevitably become overshadowed by ever-more potent and monstrous machinery.

The fact that this track only exists for one weekend out of the year makes it impossible for anyone other than the drivers themselves to run it, so I’ll do my best to illustrate what it’s like. It all starts on the front straight on Long Beach’s famous Shoreline Drive. Cars blast down here at triple-digit speeds, and on race day the stands are so packed that spectators are forced to line the fences. To be honest, the front straight isn’t … [Read more...] about One Lap Around The Long Beach Grand Prix
