Cracking lap time at Bedford, now beats RS6 and just 0.2 secs off the Supercharged Elise. Trick tyres or not, this megane rocks!

In my opinion it shows how mis-directed the RS Focus is. I know the Focus is billed as a road car, but its nearly 4 secs slower around Bedford than a FWD rival with 70 BHP less-thats not impressive, considering that many RS's will inevitably rock up at track days.

Next time out Ford, please go for losing weight and not just a big BHP count. The RS500 is even quicker but no lighter so I bet the R26R will still kick its arse around most tracks. And i mean £35k for a Focus, you're having a laugh. Still its sold out, which shows the alure of the Ford RS Badge!!

Wrong, the R26R was fitte with Toyo R888's, which are in fact Semi-Slicks that are road legal and come standard with the car, so it counts, alot of other cars use Semi-Slicks.

that top gear track doesn't count, the car had slick tyres!!

yeah i saw that black on white on Top Gear, it actually looked much better, but the nonpainted hood just ruins it for me. maybe a nice white, Fully painted color with silver Rims, and all that writing stuff gone, than it would look much better, juss looks like a clown car with all that crap on it, fats, but looks like one.

It can be specified with black rims on white, amongst a range of other coulour schemes.
The carbon on display is cool, I think. Paint weighs too much, haha.

I know this is a Hardcore Track Car, but did they have to add Red Rims and an unpainted Carbon hood?..lol
