RALLY ACE OLIVER SOLBERG DESTROYED THE TYRES ON MY EV

EV Channels Review

This video documents an engaging experience at Skoda's test facility in Czechia, where the host, Petrol Ped, receives driving tips from rally ace Oliver Solberg in a Skoda Enyaq vRS. The core of the video focuses on pushing the electric SUV to its limits on a handling circuit. Solberg initially guides the host, highlighting techniques for managing the Enyaq's considerable weight (2.3 tons) and leveraging its instant electric torque for corner exits. The host then attempts practice laps, experiencing significant tire wear and brake fade, demonstrating the challenges of dynamic driving with such a heavy vehicle. The highlight is a passenger lap with Solberg, who masterfully demonstrates the car's capabilities, ultimately leading to the complete destruction of a front tire. The review emphasizes that while the Enyaq vRS is not designed for track abuse, it proved surprisingly capable and fun when pushed, with the tires and brakes being the primary limitations. The experience was a fun, albeit unplanned, alternative to a different scheduled drive.
