I own the same black MK8, and after ruing 2 sets of brakepads in 4 trackdays the first thing that I changed was upgrading to a big brake kit. Rollbars and extra HP are nice, but not if your car cant handle them for more than 10min. Would recommend to all, the biggest weakness of the car, just like they said. Now the car is a beast and can keep going all day!
I put 4 ferodo DS500, racing liquid for brakes and metal hoses. I use to drive fiesta by mountains roads every week and i dont need more. But if some day i drive to much and very hard, the brakes still get hot. But u have to be an animal for get tired your brakes. In a circuit i think is indispensable to improve brakes in any car. By the way in more pretty is blue performance .P.
Brake cooling can sometimes be required (especially with high performance pads). Braking is converting friction into heat. The better the friction, more the heat. Thus, can happen that better pads perform worse because of small brake discs that heat up quickly, especially with weak or no cooling. Heat can not dissipate quick enough, causing resins in pads to evaporate intensively and eventually brake fluid to boil (especially if any moisture it fluid) .
as a 5x100 Subaru driver I can attest that this is a fact. I bought a sheet of 6AL4V titanium and made some brake pad shims that helped tremendously with the fluid boiling.....also using the SRF fluid helped as well.
The Fiesta st is a very fun car and on the track and in good hands we have already seen what it is capable of. A very exciting return. Thanks for bringing it to the channel 👍
I think I like the rear camera more than with the paddles. You’ve proven your footwork is great and consistent! And I enjoy watching the rear view when you overtake and to keep an eye on for upcoming traffic😊
I put on a 6 calliper big brake from tarox in front, tarox discs in the rear and tarox strada pads. Works great. Now it can break hard from over 240 kph on the motorway. The Fister is damn quick on B roads and track. Nice Video! All the best Felix
Ford know how to build a great handling car especially fwd, one of the best fwd cars ove driven was a mk1 focus RS . Absolutely outstanding car just so raw and thw turn in was amazing. On a back road with the right driver ...honestly it's one of the best cars
I had one of these Fiesta ST MK8 and the car was a lot of fun. The only thing that was quite upsetting were the stock brakes. They overheated all the time. Anyways... Great Video and amazing Driving !
@Misha Charoudin again on Fiesta ST mk8! Love ittt! Bro I own one of these myself and they have flat foot shifting from factory! Would be good to see you using it :D
Misha not taking the jump to make sure the front end is settled and he can dive on the Yaris might be the most impressive millisecond decision I have seen. Beautiful!
I have the previous gen FiST (182) and about the brakes "issues" the key with this architecture is to deactivate all the safety modules (which I did minus the abs). The car is another animal, it has even better rotation, no timing cut when spinning, and better than everything: no overheating brakes. I can do 30-40 minutes session, I will loose intercooler cooling way before brakes. Setup : PBS pads / Brembo plain discs / braided lines / RB600F.
Steel brake lines, castrol brake oil, stock discs, and the ferodo DS2500 pads, stock power, and michelin cup2 tires 215/40/18. With two in the car, no fading here after one hot lap, 15 min cooling break time. The brake oil and steel brake lines give's every car so much better brake pedal feel en more trust.
my car in the vid, i have braided lines too with ate 200 fluid maybewe forgot to mention in the vid, ds2500 with textar disc bite quite hard, im working on some brake cooling right now
Oh damn! The carpet map thing @ 1:08 is similar to something I had and love from my childhood like 20 years ago now. Holy shit, the influx of memories when I saw it..
I also own one, but mine’s the 125hp mild hybrid. Yes, drum brake at the rear, but somehow it’s still a fun car to drive. It’s the perfect daily to me. (Let’s keep in mind the price, of course I’d buy an ST if I could). Oh, and I forgot to say that I put some Pilot Sport 5 on it. You can push it as hard as you can, there’s always enough grip for the 1.0 Ecoboost. 4 years with the Fiesta at the moment and more than 90000km without any problems.
A friend had a Fiesta and said something about this and I was unclear how it would have been but apparently the whole system is a brake eating, non trackable option
I do like the rear lights I have to say. Prefer the mk7 but this one looks really nice. Confidence inspiring cars for sure, would put bigger brake kit on with some cooling ducts myself!

Mk8 st is incredible car out the box. Biggest issue is the brakes since they are the same size from a 125hp st line. It’s no wonder they burn out in half a lap.
Why do people think brakes have to do with hp? All about brakes is speed + mass, called kinetic energy. Horsepower is not a factor for braking. Since the 125hp has the same weight, it is equal. It just does not reach that top speed.
@@dom3827 no but more horsepower means a higher top speed witch means additional braking power is required to bring the car down. If going by your logic then why do hyper cars have carbon ceramics the size of the average car wheel if HP doesn’t matter.
@@RosskoPeeko thats literarly what i said. Top speed matters and mass. Hp not. You can have 300 hp on 1 ton vehicle or 300 hp on a 40 ton vehicle. Different top speed. Different energy.
I'd like to know the answer also, as about to visit the Ring July. I was thinking EBC Bluestuff, but I won't be driving or braking anywhere near as hard as Misha! 😂

Sounds amazing, especially sound coming from behind. I had problems with the drivers position, but the force feedback & raw power in that lightweight thing is amazing. On the road this car is more than you need!
@StefanP742 from 230 to 250 is quite a difference though so if it's 230 or 240 let's say it's still a difference plus the 4wd of the yaris plus how way more expensive is so my comment stays the same the ford would way better than this mediocre thing for this money and his specs
@@ecobeast1.0 guessing the guy hasn't had it dyno'd, I see the figures for stage 1 on the mk8 st range between 230ish to 250... so yeah somewhere inbetween... tbh they are very capable cars, when I had mine I put KW v3 coilovers on it, a front strut brace and rear torsion bar and it handled so well!

Germans for you😂(haven’t watched it yet but I’m guessing) I used to work for a German rental company and amount of times they’d come back hammered beers falling out the car was insane!
Every car that's going on the track needs upgraded fluid, braided lines and pads. If you can't get the original to fade, you're not driving fast enough.
@@Diac13very true, brakes before power! Unfortunately hardly anyone does that😢but also they will hardly ever reach the limits of their cars so it’s one of them.
Seems the driver in the fiesta could of taken the Yaris if it just a little more power, or if the yarris moved over i think the fiesta would pulled away by better driving .
What are you talking about? That dude in the Yaris was driving equally as good as Mischa, but Mischa seemed like he was crying about that dude not moving over for him to pass. The track isn’t only for “Mischa” lol
When you encounter such person as in the Yaris I think you should drop back for 30 seconds and then flat out again it doesn’t seem worth it to go into the back of them because they don’t know the braking points properly I know you shouldn’t have to do that and they should move over but some just don’t and it’s not worth being in harms way because some lemon thinks his skill level is much higher than it actually is!

Traction control / e diff is killing the brakes.
A friend had a Fiesta and said something about this and I was unclear how it would have been but apparently the whole system is a brake eating, non trackable option
In the track mode the E diff is disabled and it relies only in the mechanical LSD.
Exactly. I already answered this issue but you need to deactivate a few modules in the car.
The ST is nice. But the GR is absolutely brilliant. In my opinion, it already acquired Rally Royalty status from its performance in WRC.
But the guy should have move out of way...he was holding him up on the corners too much!
tried each of them on track, the GR sure is a bit better, but way more expensive
But it looks meh
The rear camera is good 👍

Can run 5 cameras and edit in out between rear and foot well depending on the action going on. Can be dynamic this way
