I'm picking up my lotto winnings next week. I getting one...
The Fiesta is about 10 million times cooler than the 458 and McLaren.

Every gran, every auntie, uncle, nephew, niece, daughters doctors dogs neighbour has got a fiesta in England. It was the most popular car here for 2 years in a row lol

If having the same shaped car as every 20 something in Britain is cool to you? you have a strange definition of that wording. Nothing cool about parking this up 99% of the time in a garage and only being seen on a really strange. I'd rather have a car I can use that's the cool part . This fiesta is only good for one job and that's not driving on normal roads.

@@greyguy.960 R5/Rally2 are completly different than stock base They only have same front windsheld i guess
some really solid content from evo these days. keep it up!
This video was the reason why a few years ago I bought a brand new 2016 white Fiesta ST 5DR. I live in the states and every time I drive that car it reminds me just how glad I am that I bought it.

It's an amazing car. Shame that we only got 2 generations of it before some idiots thought it would be a good idea to kill it.
Fantastic driving!! The car looks absolutely phenomenon!
Brilliant footage! The airfield piece was great, especially expression on his face,
That sound. Different car and engine, but can't wait for the Focus RS.
Great video, I think Henry is a much better driver than we can get a feel for by just watching.
REALLY good driving here people! This is a proper reviewer for a car.
Great job Henry, looks like you got the hang of that little Fiesta! It looks like you had great fun. :)
God you are driving good! Love this video, you did such a good review!
This car is absolutley awesome!
Rally driving has paid off as Henry looks like he can pedal with the best of them, Hats off.
Great video. So jealous; I would love to have a go at that R5
this thing sounds so cool
Very nice! Thanks for the upload
I love that exhaust!
sounds so nice on the overrun!
Great driving Henry
Great video enjoyed this :-)
Great segment, more stuff like this that is different from stock car reviews would be good to have as well.
Great vid Catchpole, that thing sounds delicious.
I have been waiting for a car like this for years. Fro
Good, very good. Rallying is my thing. Subscribed.
Great handling and nice car :)
From what I remember he started rallying a few years back in a 205 gti :)
Epic Henry!!
Thanks for sharing!
Henry you are very good at driving!
such an awesome sound :)
THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN!
Fair play... Nice driving sir!
Brilliant driving in a car that puts a really big smile on my face... If I had enough money I'd buy one of these, can't have more fun with a car :)
Great vid!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant video :)))
the over run sounds great, bruggabruggabrugga :)
fantastic!
you lucky bastard ;-) Great driving by the way!
A dog box essentially has the gears engage head on with nothing to "soften" the shift or get the gears to the same speed (synchro). That's why the shifts are very aggressive and the gears are much stronger and harder than a "normal sequential". The clutchless shifts are another feature of this transmission... hope that helped.
the honister pass is a cracking road!
Incredible!
Damn! Check out Catchpole with the Scandinavian flick!!!
Yep, that makes sense. Cheers for the reply!
Spot on. I bet them cars are so much fun to drive, but since the fall of group a rallying has become a lot less fun to watch, bring back the crude production based cars which need to be manhandled a bit.

Hell yes
There are 3 diffs on the car, front, center and rear. The center diff is most likely electronic. Once the handbrake lever is pulled the center diff unlocks allowing the rear wheels to lock up.
Henry has lets say dabbled abit in rallying in 08 and 09. Fair to say he is at home in a rally car.
True, I saw an interview of him testing on the track the other day...After the trouncing he gave Pikes Peak I wonder if he may broaden his horizons and step off into Dakar? It would be glorious to see him running a Works Citroen in Dakar...I wonder if the Helicopter could even keep up :)
That, looks like a lot of fun...
Yes their is!
You sure do have some cool roads over there.....
nice one, thanks!
I want this as my daily car!! :D
Damn. Henry can drive.
Damn good driving.
Love a good sequential gearbox
nice one Henry.
he owned a caterham and drove it through the winter in snow... he's an unreal driver
the liftoffs sound so nice
Awesome car
Yes there are, sequential boxes with synchros, perfect example is a sequential shifter on top of a standard transmission. ikeya sequential shifter evo look it up
these rally cars can shift up without a clutch with a sequential dogbox as they are designed to, and also use a flat shift system that cuts spark when gearing up so the driver never has to lift. however, downshifting requires the use of a clutch.
I hate when people say "heavy clutch" when in fact it is the exact opposite. The only reason it feels heavy is because the motor turns over with very little inertia. This is because the motor and the clutch are so lightweight. It takes a higher rpm to pull the car from a stop because the weight of the car has a greater effect on the speed of the engine. I've explained that as simply as possible.

i think it has a direct effect from the spring fingers your pedal is pushing in to lift the clutch off the flywheel. the heavier the clutch springs the higher hp it takes to cause it to slip. this car prob has a really heavy sprung puck clutch that exceeds any stage clutch you can buy for the road car.

heavy as in you need a heavier pressure on the pedal than normal
thanks for the info. i do not live in the uk and EVO magazines are not available in my local bookstores =(
Damn he's a great driver
R. Kubica is killing at the moment in wrc-2 in DS3 spec like this fiesta.
Me: *Watches video* Me: Looks out of window at my Fiesta wondering what it would look like with the R5 kit on it.
awesome!
WOW that antilag sound
There were no comments about the difference between the Fiesta VS Ferrari !!! You should do a comparison, that would be fun to watch! :)
Go Henry Block!
That exhaust note is deliciously naughty.
Badass car.
My dream daily driver😍
Great video guys. What an amazing car. One question though: at 5:48, why does it look like there is tape all over the side of the car up to the door handle?

they fix fast any hit in pumper like this,even in rally,or they swap with new one.
Henry is subtle - he's an English gentleman. Take some time to read him in evo and listen to him - he's one of the best motoring journalists around. His sense of humour is very dry as well.
10/10 would daily that
I want one!
Id like the mp4-12c thnx ! ;)
Ford ST SÉ LOS MERIENDA, MENUDO APARATO👍
im pretty sure its just so the jack can fit to lift the car. rally cars are lowered for tarmac rallies so they just need that little lift to fit the jack under. for gravel rallies the car is raised so no need for the ramps.
It really seems precise. It also seems you're a good rally driver, or almost like
very cool.
We need these in the US
A great car, cool video but a bit more excitement, common!! :)
I would have a Fiesta for sure.
i wish the new Fiesta RS to look like this!!
is there a festa rs coming? I know about the focus rs is here soon but was wondering if ford is going to have s festa rs as well here in the us.
He does some amateur rally events. Usually near the end of each EVO magazine there's an entry about his rally escapades.
nice g-shock!!!
Someone rich get me this
Fiesta ein geiles Auto
Good skids.
Good car
If I had the money I genuinely would buy this over a supercar.. People talk about accessible performance. Think this ticks that box! Awesome driving too! I know I can do that on Forza but not sure about in real life! :D
Great vid. Great driving, too. :) This is prob a silly question but I'd like to know the answer: What is the point of those little (5-10cm?) ramps that the front wheels were on? I presume its just to hold the car in place as you could have a much higher ramp (with a v shallow decline to avoid the front catching) or just put it on axle stands if it was for working underneath the front?

Breezer123 to raise the front of the car enough for the trolley jack to roll in under the front sump guard.
its all about sensation while driving..
How the AWD gets power to rear axle, with clutch or with diff? I ask this because in a handbrake turn with rear wheels locked, if there's center diff, either the engine loses half revs in the moment the handbrake is pulled, or if the clutch is pressed, the clutch disc loses half rpm
could not agree more
good vid
Price caps are a good thing
