Rallycross Fiesta takes a world record

Exactly as the thread title says really, Tanner Foust has taken the indoor speed record using his Mk.7 rallycross Fiesta. Video of him doing it (as part of the US Top Gear show) is here:

They also take the Fiesta round the US Top Gear track: its quite quick.

Its not much, but another little bit of exposure for rallycross.

Tanner has done more than most ERC contenders to put the car and drivers in a different spotlight! I really love to see Rallycross cars or drivers in different outings like:
  • Eklund at "De nacht van Achtmaal"
  • Hansen in several magazines and a feature in 5th Gear (which I missed)
  • Isachsen in Gatebil and Sollberg Extreme Motorshow
  • Various Norwegians in Sollberg Extreme Motorshow and running on a horserace track
  • Doran in Fast Ford Magazine and Ford Fair

It is so nice to see this Fiesta on top of the board! We all knew it would be quick, now we know how much quicker this is! And no I convinced my friends too!

Sorry for the double post, but I don't seem able to edit my old post? Just realised that the Fifth Gear clip is from "Fifth Gear Europe", which I believe is comprised of footage/features from Fifth Gear (UK) and Dmotor (Germany).

The presenter from that clip doesn't look like one from Fifth Gear (UK), so I assume the original clip is from Dmotor?
