I noticed that as well, its bollocks and he comes across as a complete twat on tv (probably not his fault). No remap and his exhaust would give the same or very similar performance to standard.

The bit with the fiesta and the escort was good with Plato driving. I’ve not driven the new one but recently had a 2014 ST180 and I recon it would be as quick or quicker than an Escort round Anglesey in the dry.

But who would have an Escort Cassie on standard boost now? Nobody. And if it had old tyres then it would add 2 or 3 seconds to the lap time vs.new Michelin’s on the Fiesta.
