I would like to thank Misha but also everyone here ! All your compliments by comments surprised me a lot, no jealousy, no malevolence, only encouragement, it's nice, it's really nice 🤩 and you point out that Misha rarely compliments prepared cars, it's even crazier to read 😮
Hi, wicked ST! I almost bought one instead of my MINI Cooper S, yours makes me think I made the wrong decision! I am an English guy living in France, my MINI is about to be transported here to France and is heavily modified. Please could I contact you some way to get advice from you on certain things? It would be really helpful. Thank you! Ben
@@Red4Racing love your build man Wish I could've finished my 13 focus st2 with the mods it had. before an idiot made a uturn at night on a five lane 50mph interstate road with not even looking who was beside him.
Same feeling when a go-kart pilot friend of mine drove my car on the ring. First you realise how much potential is left in your car, and then it gives you a goal to reach. So motivating!
@@mgcharoudin I want to dislike this comment bc it's a bit sad!! But it would be a great and honest rating system: add a counter and have a leaderboard of how many times you say a car is 'really good' :))))) Working hard to one day be able to toss you the keys to my car…just pulled it out of a barn, though!
To be fair most show up with their dailies which do keep up with daily tasks. Going on track just puts that much of a gap in stress and reliability. Think about it like this - Misha drives a lap or two and gets impressed that it keeps up and then ...you have 24 hour races. Crazy.
@@fartloudYTi mean track use is just heat on multiple systems. If your cooling systems can’t dissipate enough heat, it will eventually overheat. To build a real race car all you need to do is reach the point where you can dissipate as much as it produces. Anything that can do 2-3 laps doesn’t need much more cooling to do it for 24 hours.
Fiesta ST with great tyres and suspension is all you need to keep up with much quicker cars, very impressive little hatches. This must feel like a rocket!
@@CapeRoadsPOV but not to keep up with quicker cars on the racetrack for a couple of laps without a cooldown. the nordschleife is quite calm to the brakes but eventhough here the stock brakes arent enough. GP tracks are even worse. any kit for cooling should always be installed on racetracks.
@@lucashightower2783 yes I did! 3D printed some adapters that bolted in place of the foglights and then ran the ducting along the boost pipes to right behind the brake rotors.
Misha felt confident straight away here i a tell. Some cars can really handle there power and this is a great example of that fact. I bet the M3 driver was thinking WTF!! lol
I’ve been following the owner for quite some time and he is very impressive on track. Was very nice to see you drive it Misha, it’s like the mashup I never knew I needed! My ST aspires to be this dang fast lol.
Hello Juste une question, pourquoi ne pas avoir fait une remap, au lieu de juste poser un boost controller ?? Ce moteur a de folles possibilités en terme de prépa .
Car sounded amazing. Just the right amount of pull. Corner turn in and rotation freaking amazing for a car that weighs over a tonne - see corner at 8:35. These are the kind of track cars you want. Well driven Misha. Ooo la la is right.
rear view camera is probably the best thing to measure how fast the car really is when you see the type of cars that you are gapping.. Now I see why everyone wants these specially for rally
And again an M-car that tried his best to stay behind a car he really shouldn't be :P That looked like so much fun. Would love to see the e46 angle lol That ford is a proper racing car. Those french people are so crazy you gotta love them.
I LOVE the different views that you combine in your videos! It's great to see the Traffic in the back, the emotions of the drivers, the track itself and additional the tachometer or the peddal cam! really great quality ❤️
Its really good when an owner has put a car together with some thought, and shows, also shows the little cheap hot hatch will surprise and shame when peddled well, all round great fun car.
Love it when an underdog(ish) car is driven hard. "Slow" car driven fast is always more fun than fast car driven slow (or fast). A well sorted chasis, good tyres and brakes always makes for a fun drive irregardless of how powerful the car is. Loved this. 💕
YES FINALLY, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. OFC it's not close to a stock one but it looks like the balance remained event at 350ish hp. I really enjoyed seeying you go so hard in that Fiesta!!. So sick. Thanks
Simply THE best vid to date, i reckon,as adore seeing Misha loving pushing the car to its limits when the car's been modded right! Proper pocket rocket!!! Also loved how,once you overtook that beemer, he couldn't catch up for shit! lol
Ohh la la, lavache, bordel...! This looked like SO. MUCH. FUN. Bravo to the owner, great setup and for Misha to be repeating many times "it is so good", that was great to hear. I enjoyed it a lot!
These cars get slept on a lot in the states, tons of potential, surprisingly reliable and practical with some basic reliability mods (cooling) i love mine. I thought it would be a compromise compared to my 09 WRX but I think its actually a better drivers car.
Man what a Great video. The fiesta is a brilliant car and this one looks tweaked to perfection. Sad about those two yellows because that was a legendary lap. Not sure the owner knew quite what he signed up for. Hilarious passenger commentary
Got to go next year and let you drive my 355bhp R56 JCW. I hope you'll have a similar positive reaction. Great to see the smaller lighter modified cars doing so well. Great video!
Misha - hahaha - I sometimes watch UA-cam videos at 1.5 speed. I weas watching this and thought - Poop, I left it on fast speed, but nope, it was set to normal. It was just that your driving and that lovely car made it seem like I was watch at faster speed. BTW that Beemer behind you was pretty skillful to have stayed that close, considering your skill. Kudos to him too.
Amazing build! As a Fiesta ST owner myself I can attest to how much fun these cars are. I want to get another car, but this is hard to beat in terms of fun for the money ratio. Mine is only lightly modded compared to this one I cannot imagine how good it must be. Really, really good I guess according to Misha haha!
The owner was in shock that Misha could just jump in and figure the car out so quickly. That looks like one heck of a fun thing to drive. It seems the steering is a bit darty which might just be suspension settings. A short wheelbase and wide track is an interesting combo to get right. Maybe the two different tires played into that?
Even in stock form the steering is fast and after jumping in from some other cars its quite darty. MK8 is even worse in a good way until you get used to it. Really loved my tuned MK7 and MK8 Fiesta STs but turned another corner and went back to basics with old school classic 1990 MX-5 as my new daily. But still miss the frantic power from the 1.5l 3cylinder of the tuned MK8.
@iNSTAGiB depends on what you want. MK7 is the more "raw" package but MK8 is more refined and better in many other ways. MK7 turns "behind you", MK8 turns "around you". Id say I would prefer the MK8. Better seats, LSD, usable infotainment, faster steering, turns around you and you sit low and comfortable, better sounds (3 cylinder sounds like a mix of straight 5 and V6) etc. Both are epic fun, but day to day MK8 wins. And Its not like that MK8 is a boring one after MK7. One of the biggest problems with MK8 is the brakes, they just can't keep up with the car even on a fast B-road.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I also have a Fiesta ST as my daily next to my Honda s2000. Fiesta ST is such a fun and playful car. Trying very hard to keep the ST stockish. 😂
As the owner of an EcoBoost (1L turbo 3 cyl) I know I will never get up to the same power levels (nor do I feel the need to), but I am hoping one day to make mine handle as well as this one seems to. Seriously impressive. More hatches like this and the Corsa please :P Edit: Ultimately I am happy with the power of my car. I am a new driver in my 30's so I come equipped with a bit more wisdom and enough driving basics through simracing. I've never been a fan of massive power beyond games and think that handling is more important and mostly more fun. As it has been said, it's better to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow.
@@H4Haris See. I'm told that a lot. I am not interested in more power. I bought my car used and just want to improve handling. I know a stock ST is already better than a stock EcoBoost, but at the current price of ST's I might as well just improve the handling above stock ST levels for less cash :)
@@KyleEU I already went from 100hp/170N.m to 150hp/250N.m on a stage 1 remap. The car handles multiple laps fine as is. If I go for bigger intake/downpipe I will need to improve cooling as well otherwise I will heatsoak the engine. I appreciate the comments, but I know what I want :)
Amazing set up, very precise steering, love the cornering, larger rear tires provide more grip for faster exits and loads of torque when you need it (which is all the time) just picks up, absolutely love that and 7,000 red line whhhhhaaaaat. This car just wants to go fast, woawaaaweewa
One of my affordable dream cars that I actually get to own. What a blast this car is in a canyon or any kind of windy road. I can only imagine what these cars do modified but this setup in particular drived super well. Sounded like the car had some rubbing issues but what a good show of what this cars made of.
Everything about this lap was perfect and absloute stunning, Epic lap from the Marvalous Misha, what a little rocket perfect for the Ring, shame about the yellows. Enjoyed watching TY for the upload

I haven't seen Misha this impressed with a car in a while.
He's done really well with this build.
actualy in the E46 he drive last week i see he even more than today. :)
How often did Misha say "really, really good"?

I smiled through the entire video watching the passion of the owner and fun that Misha had. Thank you!
This dude is awesome and his car is amazing. His reactions made me smile, what a great drive
Misha I loved it when you told him "it's okay, you speak with passion".
There's 2 universal languages, music & cars. 🥰
😅
"Oh lalalala" 😂 He's having the time of his life! Very fun vid.
I’ve been following the owner for quite some time and he is very impressive on track. Was very nice to see you drive it Misha, it’s like the mashup I never knew I needed! My ST aspires to be this dang fast lol.
He was crapping in his pants! Being a passenger, especially in your own car, is almost always nerve racking.
Hello
Juste une question, pourquoi ne pas avoir fait une remap, au lieu de juste poser un boost controller ??
Ce moteur a de folles possibilités en terme de prépa .
Yeah one day I'll buy another car to build my ST into something like this!
How much power does this ST have ? It seems quick.
Car sounded amazing. Just the right amount of pull. Corner turn in and rotation freaking amazing for a car that weighs over a tonne - see corner at 8:35. These are the kind of track cars you want. Well driven Misha. Ooo la la is right.
The simple pleasure of hearing a French man unironically say "ooh la la" 🥰. What a fun track weapon!
Great fun, who needs supercars. Thanks Misha, another great vid.
A lot more entertaining than the race that i just watched in Singapore :o)
rear view camera is probably the best thing to measure how fast the car really is when you see the type of cars that you are gapping.. Now I see why everyone wants these specially for rally
And again an M-car that tried his best to stay behind a car he really shouldn't be :P
That looked like so much fun. Would love to see the e46 angle lol
That ford is a proper racing car. Those french people are so crazy you gotta love them.
Probably the most famous Fiesta in France ^^ That's a monster
😅
Even when stock, the Fiesta is such a fun car to drive! And prepared like steph did, it just looks amazing...
That was one of the best laps ever, so much fun to watch.
Once again, it doesn‘t matter how fast you are but how fast it feels
👌🙌😎
facts 👌
I LOVE the different views that you combine in your videos! It's great to see the Traffic in the back, the emotions of the drivers, the track itself and additional the tachometer or the peddal cam! really great quality ❤️
Its really good when an owner has put a car together with some thought, and shows, also shows the little cheap hot hatch will surprise and shame when peddled well, all round great fun car.
The chase is very good. The ride is scary af, I dont know how you make those corners seem light
Because the car is light, makes it very predictable
Always impressed by high hp cars,but these small fwd cars just seem like so much fun..great car ! 10:47 explains it haha
The turns in is really good. You point at it and it goes. The owner is having a blast lmao!
I followed this build and love it. Finally a fast Fiesta st on the channel 👍
Nice! The headline got me in as I own an E46 M3 and a Mk8 Fiesta ST. The ST's are very capable!
Love it when an underdog(ish) car is driven hard.
"Slow" car driven fast is always more fun than fast car driven slow (or fast).
A well sorted chasis, good tyres and brakes always makes for a fun drive irregardless of how powerful the car is.

awesome sound of the fiesta i love it props to the owner
thanks :)
I am Always amased how you feel confident with any New car you drive, with different set UP! 👍💪💪
Awesome car, French guy was singing the entire lap! Ohh LaLa! The BMW tried keeping up but not enough!
Could stop watch the fight with the BMW, was a fun video! thanks for the owner to let us get this experience ^^
Just shows you, no need for crazy HP to have fun. A proper set up & lightweight car that you can give full beans can just be as quick.
04:47 Misha:"Do you have LSD?"
Owner thinking:"Shouldn't we party after the round?"
... ;)
about right gearing for the track. it's like the right amount of a car for the Nurburgring. awesome👏🏽💯👌🏽.
Simply THE best vid to date, i reckon,as adore seeing Misha loving pushing the car to its limits when the car's been modded right! Proper pocket rocket!!! Also loved how,once you overtook that beemer, he couldn't catch up for shit! lol

Wonderful car, you can really see that the owner was amazed of the performance. Well driven Misha! 👍
It's the Ooh la la and ai ai ai for me!😆 love it, he is all smiles and all passion

Really enjoyed watching this video.
Very well set up car compliments to the owner & credits for your driving skills 😎
love the 2 tire types tuning to get better turn-in
super ccool
super cool build and driver-builder in general !
thx 4 sharing !
Сочный проезд. Агрессивненько атакуете паребрики. Профи.
perfect driving. Great Car. Cheers for the frenchie owner. Damned good driving moment
What a great car! Thanks for bringing us along for the lap!
What an incredible car, one of my favorites I’ve watched on here!
Look at the smiles, what the Fiesta does best. Makes me proud to own one!
My thoughts exactly! It's not the fastest or flashiest but mannn does it put a smile on your face.
Watched this 3 times now
Absolutely brilliant 👏👍
loved the owner.. seems like a nice guy! And what a send.. A shame with the yellows but still mamaged to get some fun out of it.
Thanks Misha, was waiting for you to drive my car and you finally made it! hope you enjoyed it.
Man what a Great video. The fiesta is a brilliant car and this one looks tweaked to perfection. Sad about those two yellows because that was a legendary lap. Not sure the owner knew quite what he signed up for. Hilarious passenger commentary
Never been fond of Ford Fiestas, until now. Nice run.
perfectly homogeneous car, light, good power ! 👌👍👏
No need for 1000hp to have fun. 🤣🤣
Very respectable track tool there for sure 👌👌👌
On my bucket list. One day I'll be driven around that track. I'd do it myself but I'd only get in the way of others having fun.
Dear Lord, what a epic car and epic driving skills Misha.
thanks 🤘

Seemed like a very tossable yet powerful car, that's a great combination
That was a really fun lap. Small, light, powerful, agile cars that dance a bit and make good noises are my favorite!
You can tell this thing was a blast to drive. High praise from Misha! Loving these cars lately.
That's one impressive little car
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I also have a Fiesta ST as my daily next to my Honda s2000. Fiesta ST is such a fun and playful car. Trying very hard to keep the ST stockish. 😂
Come on, bro.
Nobody likes tryhards 🤣
Stage 1 is all it needs ,anything above that it starts getting risky with the reliability not worth it imo exhaust ecu and a filter and just enjoy
I had to watch this twice. The way you were able to stay in the power and and rip that hot hatch was crazy.
so happy you drove this. my wife has a fiesta st with a quaife lsd and it's a monster. glad to see it hold up with a big turbo on the ring
The fiesta is sick, great handling.
As the owner of an EcoBoost (1L turbo 3 cyl) I know I will never get up to the same power levels (nor do I feel the need to), but I am hoping one day to make mine handle as well as this one seems to. Seriously impressive. More hatches like this and the Corsa please :P

What a drive! Those ST’s are little gems
Ohhh lálálá… you must to love this French guy 😂👌🏼
great video, we need more of misha in cheaper cars, not that this car was that cheap probably, but it's a diferent fun from driving like a mclaren
I love it! I have an st180 stage 1, this makes me want to go full out!
You can tell the low torque was what he said by the way it pulled away from BMW higher up.
That ST is a small rocket ship
Impressive... nice sound too, added bonus for me to understand the colourful French commentary
the french dude translates the ride into the video really well. so fun watching this
I've tried a set of those Revo By Alcon on a Polo WRC with Pagid brake pads and they're really really good
