Did you do the hyper-mile challenge? If yes how did you do and did you learn something new? I did and did pretty well, but another guy did much better. He managed to do the whole course in EV, giving him 999.9 mpg (he got a $300 Sony headphones for that). Not sure how he did it, must have started with a well charged battery. I really enjoyed the performance part, taking a Focus and/or Fiesta and driving as fast as the course would allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you able to drive the Focus ST back to back with the Fiesta ST, and if so besides the size difference, how do they compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorjd Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Great pictures!!Where you able to drive the Focus ST back to back with the Fiesta ST, and if so besides the size difference, how do they compare? I did. I did not really check out the interior much, but for performance, the Focus seemed to have more power on the straights, but I lost a bit of time to the Fiesta on the turns. I got a bit of wheel hope and a bt more wheel sequel on the Focus on the turns. Overall, I got a bit more thrill driving the Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
