wow,good effort fella,looks like there's next to nowt in it at the end,the focus does seem tame considering the extra 150 ish bhp

Thanks mate best time I could manage sadly was only 14.5 but still happy... she performed great! Tbf the focus is pretty savage on road and he did pass me at the end :-( but he is more power so was to be expected... I do love the Clio lol, think would have ran better times if hadn't been on and of with spots of rain and I had some decent tyres on, lol.
