[launchini100]

Do anybody know the name of the other cars after the RS?

[FordclubBelgium]

Bmw 3 serie

Bmw 1 serie coupé

Mini Cooper S

I think the first two cars are both 3 series arent they?

[FordclubBelgium]

Nope, the first is a 3 series like I already said.

The second is a 1 series coupe, you can see it by it's specific taillights.

[silverandsonic]

aah yes, I was mistaking it for an older version of the 3 series.

[BigjohnyGT]

Do we know the time that production car made???

[spiderkid25]

I'm guessing it posted a time of around 8:15

[RSRNurburg]

Nah, I wouldn't have thought so. Not on street tyres and with stock weight.

[RSRNurburg]

We've got an R26.R here at our workshop, and I'll be amazed if a stock Focus RS can come close to the Renault with it's lightweight and race-bias... 8m17s for the full lap. Let's see what Ford can do... (maybe rip out the back seats, fit racing suspension and Toyo 888s and call it the Focus RS.R :) )

Scooby's nightmare.....

Maybe, maybe not. This car is nice and well made, but also at the end of what it can perform with frontwheeldrive.(not the engine, this could maybe deliver much more power)

Also the chassis seams to be very good, maybe also at the top end.

For stock cars at good roads the focus seams to be a better choice(if you can live with 3 doors(i cant)), but not if you want to tune the cars. And, poweroversteer is mor e important to me, than any tracktimes.

I thought it was funny when the other cars were trailing after the Rs. They were like going 'SOMNOFABTICH' XD

[jcreedy20]

Yes very true the focus was very stable around those bends even with tyre howl. The other cars were wobbling and going sideways slightly here and there.
