@Killbayne Apparantly on such roads there's no speed enforcement. And fines in Latvia are relatively low for European standards. Reckless driving 40 euro fine! 😂
In this country we also have plenty of reminders what happens when a mistake is made during these 'cool car moments'. That statistic also doesn't care about price points. In recent memory, there was this other 'passionate' guy who wrapped a Ferrari around a tree when he skid out of control in a bend. He wasn't alone in the car. In general, 2020 we had the second deadliest roads in EU. Things have somewhat improved since then, but still in TOP5, I believe. 'Cool car moments' are cool on closed private ( yeah, sure ) gravel roads, but this shit on a public road, in 70km/h zone, in low visibility, wet conditions, in a rusty uninsured death trap with god knows how old tires - I think is too much. Also not sure what the beer bottle is implying at the beginning - we are also in the top with drunk driving and related causalities statistics.
@RustBucketMotorsportgood that you checked throttle valve opens 100%. I remember with warmth Rover 200, it had 100 and 60 HP versions of the engine and throttle opening angle was the only difference. 1.4 would have kick this Ford Focyou's ass

Hi ! The oversteer at high speed was the reason for the spoiler at the back of the ST variants. At the car launch engineering’s and drivers spoke about oversteer at high speed corner on the Nordschleife. And the chassis is well balanced, especially for a FWD car but it also seems spiky and can bite.
Back when I had my 1.6 as a first car, I ran it a couple of times on the nordschleife and I can confirm the spike oversteer. But I got used to it, nothing ever happened (in the dry) and it was very enjoyable to drive your FWD on the racetrack and looking out of your side windows 😂
ages ago I found the Mk.1 Focus on a list for best entry level track day cars, because apparently it had surprisingly good suspension and balance from factory. It was compared to the EK Civic
BS, it would just need a proper wheel alignment and maybe some decent tyres. A tiny ducktail at the back doesnt change sht. And if it does anything, definetly not under 150 km/h.
I never comment on videos, but this video is the best one I’ve seen in 2024. I’ve never had that much joy from watching a video. Truly great skills with an average car.
In Saudi Arabia, they pull the fuse to disable logs/communication to drift around in rental cars, without running up the miles or the ECU keeping logs of harsh acceleration and braking 😂
@@udenszirnis1644I still drive this car and can confirm. The car itself is great. It fits a family of 4 and their luggage, the steering is precise, great fuel economy, the engine will run forever (no turbo), tires are cheap, spare parts are cheap, you can do a lot by yourself. But the electronics are garbage. I had my instrument replaced once at 150.000 km, repaired again at 200.000 km and now, close to 300.000 km it will probably be the end of the car, as further repair is no longer economical. It won't shut off, I have to either permanently charge the battery or disconnect it. It will randomly fall into emergency mode, that means esp, airbags and abs are disabled I really love this car, but soon our ways will unfortunately be part.
The whole video is basically a showcase of very well driving but the way you handled your car at 5:06 is pure masterclass. No handbrake, just pure technique and understanding of what you do! You are a very skilled driver and you earned my subscription by making my chin drop on my desk :D
you need to stop relying on your handbrake man, it will not be possible to learn full throttle, clutch and brake control in relation with oversteer if you only yank the handbrake each time you want to manage traction
@@lulube11e111 Mercedes W203 is criminally under appreciated for its steering feedback, taught me so much about driving when I owned a manual one a few years ago.
I have a 2003 Focus 5spd hatch, I always felt like the car had an awful weight distribution. I'm very impressed with your ability to skid this car and keep the steer neutral.
The weight distribution is about 62% front, but will depend on the engine too. This is on par with most everyday FWD cars, it's not 'awful' by that standard. If you were talking about a RWD sports car then yeah, it would be awful.
Something has to be wrong with this one, either completely shit or overinflated tires, or terrible alignment. This is not normal, it would be dangerous for a normal driver.
older lightweight FWD is somewhat easy to snap off oversteer. High speed to a curve with sudden lift off and the weight transfer + momentum will push the rear off the center line. Easy to do in old Polo as example
that's true. Every Focus was more enjoyable to drive than a Golf. A friend who "tested" my Focus mk1 (my first car 20 years ago) couldn't believe it ...
My Mom used to have a Focus like that (even with the same options this one has lmao) except it was the station wagon. I can confirm the oversteering is present from the factory
@@Doramyplays my mk3 st has two options to go around a corner tighter than it feels at first: more throttle and steering into the corner or lift throttle and prepare to counter steer.
I was watching with my jaw dropped. You are very skilled and obviously know what you're doing but still, blasting thru a forest on a narrow gravel road in a junky old focus, sliding thru corners... Balls of steel.
Had a ford escort as a first car. Lived in the midwest with tons of gravel roads. It was driven like this on many occasions. Only went in the ditch once. Nice driving!
It's been a while since I've described a video as pure FUN. There's something satisfying about sseing a regular slow car being driven fast, especially with such skill 👍 It's like home made rally and it just works.
As an owner of Mk1, Mk2 and Mk4 facelift, i can say: Mk1: At the time most popular durable car that than looked very modern, not the best in handling (axually better than the VW Passat that was new at the time), but it was very, very durable, no services needed at the time ( only maintenance) and it was really good for that 6 years I had it. Mk2: I have it even tooday, its durable, kinda fast, Nice handling (Ford has one of the best handling cars on the market), its really good car worth 10x more than the price in vid (300€). Mk4 facelift: Looks really Nice, modern, Like a race car. Its also durable if you maintenance it, its fast, really good handling, stiff suspension, FVD, theres a plenty of Space in it... Ford makes better and better cars through generations and even Mk1 handles nice.
And now they discontinued the Focus! 😭 I drive the MK2 and love it, but the electronics of the instrument are giving me a lot of trouble. I will have to sell it this year and will look into a used MK4. Unfortunately the space in the station wagon got less.
I still own a Mk2 TDCi with 165,000miles. I dont dare drive that crazy on busy roads but I still enjoy driving it and out performing newer and more expensive cars.
Woah, that's one experienced driver, great driving skills. When I was a kid I was dreaming of being able to drive like this, and to this day I dream of it. Great video
Man, it's January 1st and you just give me a strong goal in life! You drive beautifully. I would love to master oversteer on a fwd car! Will start to train right now on my sim!
I own an MK2 in red and I love it to the moon and back, so I'd never treat it like that. But I did buy an old and cheap BMW E36 316i once and drove it around exactly like this and I can confirm that it's hela fun! Great driving!
Yeah I have this Focus also and find it iconic. Best designed compact ever, the actual archetype from the golden car era. I try to keep it in as good shape as possible and honestly have no idea what would I replace it with. Hate new cars
@@Sviatoslav-ic6eg Can't really compare them like that to be honest... The BMW was a "fun" car. You could drift the thing like crazy cuz it was RWD and only needed 1 finger to steer. Also the sound was killer after I straight-piped the thing. The focus on the other hand is an amazing daily driver. A lot bigger than the BMW (especially the trunk) and more comfortable with more fancy features like a big screen multi media radio, heated front windshield, good fuel economy, etc. The E36 was amazing on a dirt track, but the Focus is my car of choice for anything else.
@@Spark244I also drive this Focus and a 5er BMW. Both station wagon. The steering on both is comparable, the BMW is more comfortable on longer rides on the highway, but the focus has almost the same boot space! It is the perfect compact car and I will unfortunately give it up this year, as the electronic problems are getting more and more and seem impossible to fix on my car. Rust is also slowly showing.
I drove an '04 SVT Focus for several years. It's somewhere between an ST170 and an RS, exclusive to the US. Many of the Mk1 and 2 Foci had a surprising amount of toe out on the rear, which contributed to the lively feel and excellent turn in and mid turn rotation of the car, but could cause some excessive liftoff oversteer and contributed to tire wear. I think it's really the only downside of the entire chassis performance. They are stiff, light, and the steering is excellent. The steering rack in the SVT was used in the 00s Ford GT, as it was the best rack that Ford had produced up to that point. The SVT had stiff but compliant suspension, really well tuned for average or better roads. The Mk1/2 Foci are excellent cars... I wish we got the RS in the states.
My family had a 2004 one of these in nz after we our lovely 91 astina blew up and it was a lovely thing until the gearbox shat itself and died but very glad you could have some fun with our old car.
I love a review like this. I'm currently looking for a cheap and fun car to trash around outside the motorcycle season, and the comments about suspension and steering (wile showing it at the limit) are amazing.
I used to have a very similar Focus which I always felt I could throw it in corners like nothing else. Brilliant chassis, both in rigidity and suspension geometry.
Was my first car on public roads! Did not have a license back then. my father was hotel manager and they had a Focus as Car for the Hotel if somebody needed to collect items. took the keys from the reception and went only on the closed parking spot to learn how to drive stick and park. Two days later im flying with 160 kmh country roads ;D

I had a north American 2008 SES 4spd 4dr. Acceleration was slow but it handled super well and was fun to take on back roads with twists and turns and on gravel.
The Focus 2 was my first car. 1.4ccm, Blue 3 Door Facelift. Probably the funniest car i ever drove. Needless to say i got the ST version of it right after. Ill always have have a special bond to the mk2 Focus. There is not a lot of cars that are more fun at this price point.

after all it was a rally car so it's in his element 😂, clean driving and cool video
me after watching this video: 🤔
my car: don't even think about it
jesus, that was a joy to watch you drivin like this, kept smiling over and over again that was some sweet display of driving skills 😎
Proof it's not about the car, it's about the driver
Best video of 2024. BTW you drive rly good.
Incredible
I had a north American 2008 SES 4spd 4dr. Acceleration was slow but it handled super well and was fun to take on back roads with twists and turns and on gravel.
Unfortunately, the American Focus “second gen” has nothing on the Euro Mk2.
Best video i seen today
Do more test drives!! Those are awesome. And you are a really great driver also, congratulations 😮
Please do this with the 2.5 Volvo engined focus
Vaya manitas! Espectacular los toques escandinavos.
I like how you take ordinary cars and drive the shit out of them 🙏🔥
The Focus 2 was my first car. 1.4ccm, Blue 3 Door Facelift. Probably the funniest car i ever drove. Needless to say i got the ST version of it right after. Ill always have have a special bond to the mk2 Focus. There is not a lot of cars that are more fun at this price point.
6:40 it has a shiftlight??
No I have one, it simply tells you you are on the rpm cut..
It's telling you: bro please don't kill me, just shift
@manuelventura3799 how I read your comment: "YEAH BRO IT HAS A SHIFT LIGHT 😆" jk. Ty for insight!
I have the 1.6 115 cv for 16 years never a problem, very a good car
5:20 clean asf
One of my favourite videos to date
Amazing driving ! How to get there ?
I had one of these when I was younger and it was accidentally sideways on fast B-roads more than once. Very fun.
Man I have seen plenty of tdci versions with a spoiler on the back, would be interesting to see you drive one to see what you think of it.
Блин даже просёлочная ровная без глубоких ям видимо район не густо населён и большегрузов нет на них. За видио лайк от фокусовода 2л.
Hes back!!!
The best video I saw this year😢
I remember the Smax beeing considered extremely oversteery when it were released. Perhaps they are related.
My old 2.0 diesel saw something like this before being sold :))) Very nice stable, reliable car and mine actually had some power
0:24 I want my beer shake,not stirred
First video of the year for me. Nice car.
