    Recently we found out what's quicker around a racetrack between a 2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP or the Renault Megane RS Trophy R.
    Now, we have a head to head drag race with a best of 3 race between our favourite BBC Top Gear Stig ever, Ben Collins, who gets behind the wheel of the Mini GP3 and our man Tiff Needell in the Trophy R.
    Manual gearbox vs automatic. Driver skill vs flappy paddles!
    Which car would you choose? The Mini John Cooper Works GP or the Renault Megane RS Trophy R?
    Thanks to Hollywood stuntman and probably the best Top Gear Stig ever! Ben Collins! Follow him here: / bencollinsstig

    Two of the best drivers in the business in the hot hatches and you do a drag race. I mean , I REALLY want to love your content, I love the presenters, but who cares about drag races? Two cars that should be a riot to rock around and you only drive in a straight line. Hell, you could have taken a SUVs or minivans if you don't intend to use cars for an intended purpose. I really don't want to say this, but there are many missed opportunities of a proper head to head.

    Ok. Now I got confused. How come sport mode is better than race mode? These guys from Renault. It was like suddenly the car woke up and just went off like "we have 3 minutes to catch that train". I was about to write that the torque really loses its effectiveness when the 3rd gear engages, but on the last run, everything was different. Still, Tiff made a great difference. It's not easy at all to get the best acceleration and get great gear change at the right rpm. That's why the manual is always the best. It's about working hard to get the best result.
