The Fiesta looked amazing on the track. But think of how quickly the old A1 Focus developed, from its first outing.
The Fiesta already looked like an accomplished track weapon. Come Summer 2005 and that will be a very special little car, I reckon.

Cheers to Steve, Si, and Jay for sorting my car out at the last minute on Friday - even tho' you had the Fiesta to do. Much appreciated, and it was faultless all day, as was my driving
Love it!

Cheers
Newts

mad car, mad driver can't believe how fast it was considering it was its first outing. Well done to all involved.

Thanks to Steve for remembering my tyres as well and thanks to Simon for sorting out my wheels stud

Just like to say thank you to Claire,Gemma and Steve for a great day at Bedford.
I am well pleased with the Fiesta's first outing it can only get better hopefully there will be some radical mods before it is seen again.
But more importantly a BIG BIG thank you to 4x4 Pete for all his help with me on the car,Jason (stretch) ,Simon, Jay and Sara for all their hard work with the project
