Fiesta ST at Goodwood

[MarkCup]

Fantastic day, fantastic weather, fantastic crowd, fantastic car.

Looks like a bloody quick track. Not a lot of room for mistakes?

 

[N0ddie]

How do lap times compare?

 

[Christopher.]

Good grief thats quick !!

Hitting 130 through fordwater is bloodly crazy, id be very lucky if i hit 115 in the ph1 !

 

[Martin.]

Looks like a very fast track and the car seems to go very well indeed.

^Don't see it hitting 130 anywhere though?

Was watching on my phone, looked a bit blurry. 120's still impressive !

Fordwater apex is circa 110-115 depending on how brave I am entering Madgwick, most I ever saw in the 200 was 111. Seems to reach peak speeds 3-5mph more before braking than I did in the 200.

Goodwood is a unique place, not been sanitised since it was built so very fast and f*** all run off. I always pucker up when going into 'no name' knowing it's where Sir Stirling ended his career!

​Good stuff Mark, looks like its easy to provoke a bit of rear end movement so to speak should you want to lol.

What camera setup are you using these days?

 

[Ady182]

U getting back on track Nik?

 

[Nik]

Yeah should be, I want to do a bit of work on the Trophy first, particularly the brakes. Time and money keep going elsewhere at the moment, but I'll get there soon lol. It's been far too long.

 

[Ady182]

Know the feeling!! Last one I did was rockingham, miss it other commitments come first though. Red Baron one will reunite lol

Interesting Mark. Dave was doing 1.38.4's in his Golf fairly consistently this year and i've got you down as a 1.39 there on road tyres?

My Clio was doing 1.35's last year on the standard engine, but decent tyres and suspension, so i'm pretty impressed with that little Fiesta! I wished I'd have managed just one untroubled lap to compare this year. Such an arse!

 

[Darren S]

Looks good - does it help 'balance' the car with a passenger in?

​D.

TC being turned off at 1:28?

 

[Nigel]

I'm impressed with how well it seems to slow down especially from high speed.

GoPro HD2, 1080/30, medium FOV, mounted on a B. Hague headrest strut mount and running an external stereo microphone. Not happy with the audio so looking to upgrade that at some point.

Was doing 1:39s all day long Jon...didn't think that too bad at all when my stripped 172 Cup on soft A032s saw a best of 1:37.5. Such a shame yours played up, would have made for some good footage!

Yep. As it goes, it intervenes with incredible subtlety...first session I thought I was doing well and it wasn't cutting in (I wasn't looking at the dash)...then my passenger said it was flashing away through every turn. I had no idea! I ran it in 'sport' for the rest of the day and it was only with a lot of provocation that the light then flickered...but it was still undetectable to me at the wheel. Very impressive system.

​I cannot fault the brakes at all. Great performance all day long and barely any wear...my wheels were still clean and shiny at the end of the day!

 

[mini_nick]

Very impressive, you look very quick round there. The car looks to have a really nice balance, never looks nose heavy but not snappy either. Bet its a lot of fun on track! Makes me want one!

I know, such a shame. I think I'd be in and around the 1.32's. Next time Mark, next time!

I'll make sure I have the Mountune MP215 package for next time, I might stand a chance of hanging onto you then!
