thought the point was that the rs could corner better!! than a scooby but was slower on the straights (a full 2 seconds slower to 100)
But that it required nice sweeping floorless dry tarmac to acheive this hmmmm loads of that about isnt there ??????
So in brief stunning dry trackday car but massive torque steer to the point of total unpredictability in the real world.

Focus RS coming to a hedge bottom somewhere near you soon

I'm sure I spotted Pete Croney wearing a very sensible jumper on last night's Top Gear. May be Pete can confirm if the Stig is Tiffany Dell ?
