If you get the focus on the ring, please get video footage in some way or form. I know cams or banned but what a vid that would be.

Be careful if you're not totally familiar with the place, but would be brilliant to see what sort of time it puts in and some footage of a flying lap in the Focus from an in-car camera.


Cheers,

hit 135 in my standard m3 so you should piss 150-160 even if you don't know your way round. see if jc is going as he knows the place like the back of his hand.

It would be brilliant to see what the Focus would clock around there! How would you go about getting it road legal then? I take it you dont bother with the IVA stuff?
