@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei - Knowing the ring well, the relative speeds aren't that high so I'd say the Megane is stock, the Fiesta just wasn't very fast on the lap, too much lag and fairly sluggish acceleration.
Took one look at those front brakes and thought....'nah, they're gonna die quickly'.....sat here now smh trying to work out how they survived! Brutal lap 💪
same. but the FiST is a relatively light car, and it has been set up so well. Misha was never fighting the car, except for that slight bit of understeer in some places, which is always a welcome thing IMO, a gentle reminder that if you continue you're going to lunch it.
The stock brakes are not good enough especially with stock fluid. But if you upgrade pads, discs, fluids and run on semi slicks it helps a tremendous amount to have the brakes not fade at all. used to have one myself that I tracked on the NS & Spa. The semi slicks in itself made a tremendous difference also in brake temps because the brakes had to work a little less due to better grip@@acalthu
Wow this fiesta was flying 😃.You can tell there was lag but most of the times its that what saves the engine .Lots of power down low has more chance of breaking.
This turbo normally spools up full boost at 3-3.4k rpm since i had it aswell, bur switched to a bigger turbo that spools up full boost at 4k rpm but way more power
@@trackfocussed9810 non-existing gap? the idiot in the BMW left so much gap and had such a poor line I would have just passed him there even if I had to go on the grass a little.
@@vrrrrrr-uwu Nah, trackfocussed is right. That's a stupid gap to go for in TF, it's a tourist lap, not a race. The BMW was predictable, Misha was being too aggressive, like usual. Misha is still a VERY good defensive driver, but he still has that aggressive driver side to him that he needs to get rid of, it has no place in TF.
After watching plenty of Misha's videos, I learned that if a car is able to reach to 200 km/h at Hohenrain chicane (forgive me if I'm naming wrongly), IT IS FAST. And this Fiesta, ladies and gentleman, fits perfectly in this description!!
Your driving is jaw dropping. I am speechless. *EDIT - Found myself, you are a prime example of showing ACTIONS speak louder than words in life. Liked, Subbed.
Another great drive Misha, one butt clench moment for all of us but nicely saved. You know when the passenger and Misha are quiet the drive is usually fast. Great track car and what a difference a quaife limited slip diff makes...
Fun lap but its very obvious that car isn't making anywhere near 330bhp, unless it hits that for a short period around 7k. The acceleration is far too sluggish (I've been out in a genuine Fiesta ST making 300bhp), this car accelerates very slowly for something with supposedly much more power than stock. The only other explanation is the turbo is far too big for the motor and it just isn't able to spool it in a way that makes the car driveable, I'd go as far as saying a ST with much less power would out accelerate it. You can also see at various times during the lap it can't catch other hot hatches. Still love watching Misha and the Fiesta ST is a decent hot hatch.
its mph but yes it doesnt look like 330- especially for its weight , i always thought that these cars need new transmision altogether....shorter gear ratios is a must. These have way to long ratios.
It can probably dyno 330 when you’re loading the turbo for the whole dyno pull but in actual driving conditions the turbo is never under load long enough to actually produce the boost it made on the dyno runs.
@@mgcharoudin I wish! :’( boys are out there again this year but it’s a miss from me. Maisie’s 8 months now, saving for another car, finishing the renovations on the garden AND finishing work on the car. However, I do think there’s a chance of coming out either this summer/ next year! I’ll be in touch though 👍🏼
Fiesta st is probably at the bottom of the list when it comes to rating hot hatches 😂 no where near the best or even top 5..however it still can be the best for you 😊
I’ve got all the decent hot hatchbacks or I’ve had one. And I can assure you my s280 powered fiesta st is my favourite overall. I do enjoy my i20N (such a shame the ECU is still locked) and I’ll never sell my RS200 Clio. But a well sorted fiesta ST takes some beating. Believe me….
Something does seem a little off with this. I have x47r turbo running running a safe 300bhp mapped by TRS and it gets through the rpms much quicker than this.
Very good handling! 👏👏👏 But there is a noticable delay in the power delivery makes it not suitable for tracks competitions. Probably it just needs some tweeks in the turbo system.
I would think the track is the one place where a higher spool wouldn't matter. There aren't any corners slow enough where you are out of the power band in 2nd I would think. On the street I could see a 25mph corner causing bog, but here I am surprised. My guess is this could use some finetuning with the wastegate, or something.
the 1.6 ecoboost doesn't like much to rev and the turbo is quite big. people that are comfortable with the car are gonna shift way more then misha does and always keep it above a certain treshold. there's nothing to mean or not mean to you, that's how some engine work lol
@@Stallzyx some set ups are beneficial but don't forget that its only 1.6 L it does not produce huge amount of pressure itself big turbo certainly not a good idea , might try like a custom built twin turbo, 1 small , 1 big, but not sure if it would be good without the rebuilt of the engine to have stronger components
It's weird because l have a fiesta ST with a x48r turbo. I make full boost (23psi) under 3k in 3rd gear. This car maybe has the wastegate pre-load not set properly, or the boost solenoid is broken. It may also have a VCT issue. The VCT really helps the car come on boost stronger in the mid range.
I know there is plenty of 300bhp fiesta st in the uk and a lot with popular 360bhp big turbo kits but just seems to be 300bhp+ only in a very small window of the rev range and being a smaller capacity engine I guess doesn’t help 🤷♂️ still a very fun car from the looks of it, performs decent for what can be had in the uk for £5k or below in most areas.
Now i can do the same in forzaaaa I feel like Misha 😂😂😂 what a good driver u are hope one day to come visit the green hell and go for a spin with a driver like that 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My biggest regret is getting rid of Fezza ST, economical daily but so much fun on the back roads and very forgiving for someone who thinks they are a better driver than they actually are! It's the kids with rich parents who inevitably end up with them upside down that give them a bad rep!
Misha really putting work in this lap! Congratulations! Ps.: what is wrong with the bimmer drivers. ( i am one of them, already had 2 bimmers looking forward the 3rd one)
Would there be a chance to take the Lexus Rc350 F-Sport to the track or GS450h F-Sport ( 😅 ), the one with Dynamic Rear Steering? Apparently the handling is unlike any other and it would be epic if Misha expressed his opinion.
The M3 didn't expect the Fiesta to stick its nose in so early, but considering power-to-weight and all the screen-filling amount of mods, the Fiesta is probably the faster car. F1 cars in the 80s also had turbo lag, you gotta just keep them amused.

Broke the heart of the Porsche owner in the beginning of the lap. 😅

This is some of the best driving I've seen, sir. You BELIEVED. Excellent, footwork.

Blowing passed the other cars, especially the bimmers, HUGE bonus.
Thank you so much.

Wow this fiesta was flying 😃.You can tell there was lag but most of the times its that what saves the engine .Lots of power down low has more chance of breaking.
Absolutely
Its not the power that is a problem. Its a torque that likes to test the strength of your components
@@darekmistrz4364 yes that's what I mean. Power down low is usually lots of torque which breaks conrods.

Totally agree: beter remove those a next time😊

250 at best
Hybrid turbos for you, absolutely shite for these. He should’ve got for an s280, would’ve been much better and probably 330🤣
Often 'over tuned' makes it worse, the manufacturers spend many millions on development, they know what they are doing.

Really interesting lap to watch. Good pace but looked frustrating to drive around the boost issue, so much so the Megane got away
Great lap as always ❤

Amazing driving 💯📷🤸🏻
holy shit that car was flying! that talent misha has wow damn! as the driver said you can drive!!
330hp is a bit optimistic but nevertheless a great fun lap to watch. Turbo's too big for that tiny ecoboost, has a monstrous lag :D
it have 330hp but probably only at 7k rpm. It have big turbo lag.
These can easily make 300 plus, there's loads in the UK making that on hybrid turbos all day long
After watching the video it seems this one accelerates slow compared to other I've seen running over 300
@@alexrobinson5922 That's what i meant by 330 hp being optimistic. I know they can put out that power, but this one doesn't seem to
Could be 330 at the flywheel Instead of at the wheels
3:58 epic😮😮
I never understand how the queue after a lap works. Some add to the back some cars just drive past everyone and cut in line? VIP cars?
6:12 When you thing that you're ripping, a wild Megane RS appears!
Passing like 10 cars in fast section was scary to watch 😮😮😮
Is it acceptable to skip the entire line at the exit, when you're not going for another round?
Are people cooling down their cars or something? 🤷♂️
I was wondering that too. I suppose if you need more cool down time running fast people will let you in ?
Awesome car, makes me want to look up how much I can get a used fiesta for.
Fantastic drive misha

Going around that M3 around 4:00 was insane driving by Misha but also shows the benefit of power-to-weight ratios 😅.

Great driving. So nice to see someone who knows how to shift. No helmet?
❤pedal cam❤
Too Close for Comfort. Well saved. Pro driving from Misha as always.
Great drive, great video!
That Megane was gone at 7:00. Definitely showed that little bit more grip it had over the Fiesta. Still Fiesta is a good car for what it is
Misha that was a close one. How would he fix the boost problem? Just looking to learn.
Kind of a shame the boost doesn't kick in till 4.5k rpm, this is why peak HP numbers mean nothing to me.

hp curve is important also coupled with torque, a twin scroll would do the job, might be expensive .
different turbos yield different results. Something like a X47R or peron/aet RT330 I believe spool up much faster than a S280 or garrett
