Well I decided to head up to Crail today for the first day of the season and what a day it turned out to be 8) Weather was superb for February (barely warrented a coat lol) and the track was bone dry. Put in 6 times myself, rather pleased with the Focus considering the few things done to her. Some other beautiful cars on display, namely a mental Vtec mini, absolutely amazing R34 Skyline, numerous bikes/supras/other skylines/scoobies/pulsars and all in between.
Here's the Focus in action:
(Please forgive the crazy mofo doing commentary, especially where he calls the bravo a punto :lol: oh and if bad language is likely to cause you any offence, do NOT download)
Focus v Civic VTi (6.96mb)
Focus v Bravo 1.8 16v (2.37mb)
Focus v Ibiza Cupra Sport 2.0 8v (1.66mb)
Anyway here's my times and a selection of pics from the day
Race 1 - 16.764 - Lost to a VTi Civic by about 2-3 lengths
Race 2 - 16.522 - Beat a stripped out metro with a K-Series 1400 16v (bout 1 length)
Race 3 - 16.512 - Just about beat the same metro on a rematch, though much closer..
Race 4 - 16.757 - Beat a 1.8 16v Bravo HLX by about 5+ lengths
Race 5 - 16.603 - Beat a lime green mk2 Ibiza Cupra Sport 2.0 8v by bout 1-2 lengths
Race 6 - 16.975 (Crap start) - Beat a 1.5 LSi Civic Coupe by about 4 lengths
All in all I had loads of fun and will be back at some point.
And now for some pics....
[rapid bastid metro! lol]
