This video captures a Volkswagen Golf R MK7 completing a personal best lap of 1:49.318 at Auto Club Speedway. The car is extensively modified, featuring full bolt-ons, port injection, and running on E85 fuel, producing approximately 460 horsepower (fwhp) on a Dynojet at 28psi. A new Garrett G25-660 turbo has also been installed.

The suspension setup includes H&R RSS Coil-overs, H&R camber plates, Superpro LCA, and an H&R rear sway bar. Camber settings are approximately -2.5 degrees in the front and -2.3 degrees in the rear. The vehicle maintains its full interior, weighing in at 3250lbs. It rides on Neuspeed RSe10 18x9 wheels paired with Yokohama A052 255/35/18 tires.

The driver aimed for a sub-1:50 lap time, especially considering the challenging conditions of a hot, breezy 91°F day and a new turbo setup. The car performed flawlessly, demonstrating significant potential for even faster laps with its increased power. The driver notes that cooler weather alone could shave over a second off the lap time, with further improvements possible through optimized driving as they adapt to the car's new speeds. The goal for future sessions is to achieve a 1:47 lap time with the current setup.
