Stoked for you. Track days are some of my favorite memories. Gotta add learning the racing line to that list!

Man I had such an amazing time, wish I was still there.

If there is another Fiesta there ask them to use that white funnel that comes with the car. That’ll help you get e85 in your tank

Yea I had someone with a focus ST pull up randomly and they had one thank god.

I love that 1:00 camera position, makes the drive look dynamic, and its nice to see the wheel and shifter action, pumped for the track day vid!

Yea I was stoked on the camera angle. The track day vid will be out soon!

Just remember depending on the track setup and speed through the turns you don't want to be braking in the turns (hard braking). Get slowed down before the turn. The more you ask of your tires the more chance you have of loosing traction and not being able to turn. And as they used to always tell me before racing keep the shiny side up 😎

Being more fluent is gonna be faster. As mentioned, you don't want to be hard braking. Pay attention to your tire pressures as they have a huge impact on the turn in with FiST's. You're also gonna find no LSD is gonna be an issue. Little things I've noticed and I know you will. Lol

Tire pressure is huge with these, seconding that for sure. Almost always want to maintain the bias front to back. Can tune rotation with that alone.

@@mynam3isnathan it’s one of the first things I learned with mine. I had a SVT Focus before and turn in is extremely different. It didn’t feel right though. Started doing research and read about the tire pressures in these cars. Changed them to door spec and wow what a difference. Snap oversteer is real and very easy. I’ve messed with alignment specs and anything more than -1-8 camber is too much(for me). This and the SVTF are my first fwd cars I’ve road raced coming from awd. I’ve had to learn a lot.

My friend has a Fiesta ST and his brakes make the same card in spokes noise in the rear. He has drilled and slotted ones if that helps!
