Just had the ride of my life: Ford Fiesta R2 Rally Car

Ex belgian champion was doing test drives with his Fiesta R2 not far from here, I know a couple of guys who ride in the fiesta cup that know him well, so we went for a look. After he'd finished, he asked if someone wanted to join him.

I was so polite to offer myself up :001_rolleyes:

It just rained and all I can tell is OMG :biggrin:
The car only has 165bhp I think but with the sequential gearbox, it was flying like a rocket.

140km/h in small country roads, he was cutting into corners I could see the water in the ditch :smile:.
Handbrake turns through the mud :thumbup: woooot woooot

this was the one %7BC0A45A2C-B35D-443D-BAA8-09F1D6C3C397%7D_IMG_5782.jpg

Ive always thought that when ive been in cars with an SG. You just do not realise how much time and speed your loosing with a conventional manual.

Thats said they are a nightmare in road conditions :smiley:
