• Did 2 sessions at Bedford in a new Focus RS yesterday. Absolute riot of a car.

  • Yeah I did give it a go but I didn't really know how to get it to work properly, I only really achieved big angle power slides about 3 or 4 times.

    What was interesting was that drift mode seems to limit your slide time, it allows much bigger angles but after a second or two it straightens it up, whereas in track mode you can slide smaller angles but for much longer.

    My mate whose car it is was much better with drift mode but he still felt limited whereas he managed to link one of the S bends in track mode.

    The dampers are way too stiff, we had to turn off sports dampers (damping level is independent to driving mode) because it was bobbing even on Bedford's super smooth surface. I felt a bit ill from nodding.
