@@bavarianmoparworks8668 Thanks for the reply. For the record I happen to like American muscle cars a lot. So if I've got this right if they are both stock and unhindered the Megane beats the Focus by about 20 seconds, the Hellcat by 10 seconds and the track is like 20km long? so like it gains half a second on you per Km, although it probably doesn't pan out that equally. There's a good probability that neither are stock, so who knows how it really stands. Since you're already going at speed and that's your main advantage. I'm not sure your weight has that much effect with all that power. I own a facelift MK2 Focus ST and obvs would much rather I had your car, but I think your use of the word 'plays' implies you think you could easily beat it upon your demand, but it didn't look that way. if you factored in the cost difference and your assessment of the other drivers ability....

@@ru55ells The '19 Megane put up a time of 7:55 here. The '16 Focus RS did a time of 8:06 (faster than a Mustang GT, lol!). ALLEGEDLY, a '15 Challenger Hellcat did a 7:51 here but I can find ZERO proof of it & while that time MIGHT be possible, I still hold it as nothing more than "MOPAR Urban Legend". IF Driver Jon was driving all 3 of those cars, all stock & all with a good set of tires on it, I would guess that the Megane would win & the Focus RS & Hellcat would both be a close second. The Ring is 20.7 km long, with 79 curves (167 or so turns) & 1500' of elevation change (500m or so). Many of the turns are both decreasing radius turns AND negative camber - so chassis setup is key. Lighter weight cars, regardless of horsepower disadvantages, will excel. 700+ horsepower can do a lot to over come inertia, but not physics, lol! As far as the title goes, when I say "play" I don't mean like a "cat w/a mouse" & it's nothing disparaging towards the Focus. It's meant that we were LITERALLY "playing around with" the Focus. This was Driver Jon's very first time behind the wheel of this car, WITH 2 passengers (one of whom OWNED the car, lol). He is WAY to experienced a driver to simply throw the Hellcat around a track like this without learning its setup & what it will handle - thus he was just getting a feel for the car. Also, he has DRIVEN a Focus RS here on the Ring, so he knows EXACTLY what that car can do - which is why we know the driver of THIS RS is not driving it to its full potential. I have a TON of respect for the RS - it punches WAY above it's weight class. It will stay side by side w/a Hellcat all the way up to 1/8th mile in a drag race. If you REALLY want to see what a RS can do, go check out my buddy Dan Brown's channel "Track FOCUSED" & watch him pull some laps here OR, better yet, watch Driver Jon pretty much lap the entire FIELD on the GP track, lol!

car is pretty much stock. the OEM thermostat literally snapped in half & I had that replaced (a few weeks before this lap) under warranty (180 degree thermo is on my grocery list), but the OEM one handles the Ring just fine. I added a carbon fiber rear diffuser & rear spoiler & was worried about "Carousel" because it is extremely bumpy & wasn't sure if it would scrape - it didn't thankfully. Still running PZeros (like the Y rating since I usually hit 170+mph on the autobahn) but put 295's on the rear & lastly, after 12k miles I needed to swap out the front pads & went w/Power Stop Z26s.

In the states, not worth the extra money vs Atturo AZ850's or the Firestone FireHawc's.

Don't sell the RS too short. We know EXACTLY what it can do & it is a very capable hatchback. Horsepower, torque, cost - they mean absolutely nothing here on a road course. It's all about your car's setup. I drive the Hellcat here because its fun as hell, but the RS is a MUCH better track car. Driver for driver, the RS will beat a Hellcat on a track every time. This "race" was only close because the RS driver here was inexperienced while Driver Jon was taking it easy because this was his first time driving the HC. If you want to see what a Focus RS can do here with a good driver behind the wheel, check out my good friend Dan Brown's channel "Track Focused" - among his videos, there is a REALLY bad ass vid of Driver Jon driving the Focus on the GP course here & basically laps the entire field, lol!

P Zero Summer's on the car - 275's up front, 295's rear. Tires at the time of THIS lap were about half way through their life span (for me, I get around 6-8000 miles before they get slick.....had around 3k on them here with some 1/4 mile pulls as well). Previously, coming out of KZread corner, she stepped out on me with 275's on the rear. As you may have heard me state in the video, they did much better w/the 295's in that same area. This was Driver Jon's 1st time behind the wheel of the car....by his 3rd lap (the Mustang GT lap), he had the setup how he liked it & started pushing the car a little more...but by then the tires were truly gone. Everyone stateside talks bad about the Pirellis, & I know there are better tires, but for the money they do pretty damn well all around (drag racing, autocross as well as 200+mph on the autobahn).
