Very Good Video!

Is the MCS standard???

You didnt do too bad against the Focus RS too, sadly it has far more torque.

Lovely music :)

Did you try and do a bit of a tyre warming excercise just before you ran - was difficult to tell?

I thought it might be.

Presuming you're on road tyres its actually not a good thing to do - at best it's bad for your tyre life and gearbox and at worst it causes a kind of bubbling effect on your tyres that reduces rather than increasing traction.

Thats my tip of the day over with :)

That looks like Santa Pod - I was up there some time LY but didn't see any mcs's.

Next time you go send me a pm - got a modded mcs so could eat some of those fiesta's off the track...

Nice clip though!!
