Yeah, great video.
The lude clearly handles much better

I would guess it also revs higher, so you spend less time changing gears while accelerating, than he does?
What engine is in the xsara, to have that much power? XU10 J4 2.0 16v n/a lump? If so that's an absolute shed load more than stock and very impressive!

Great driving ! really fun to watch! I would S#### myself driving this close to other cars but eventually i will get used to it.

Your brake judder cant be from just buildup.
I had the same and was able to skim the discs . sure u didn't hold the brakes too long after a race?

keep it up!

I would agree with this too as you would have burnt it off quite quickly. When I had mental judder like that it was because my discs were covered with heat cracks.
