EVO track battle; Fiesta ST 2013 vs GT86

[Lauren 2259]

Well, it''s always a 'battle'. Quite an interesting comparison it seems. I won't tell you the outcome but the GT86's tyres are a factor. Great fun as I remember on my last outing on track. I must admit the car does seem to get to a point after a few laps where tyres do seem to have no grip at all, especially at the rear. But the grip level then very much settles and you can endlessly exploit the handling balance to hold ever more lurid slides. Enjoy!

They shown GT86 interior in Fiesta footage :)I don't know, Fiesta has TC. Do you think it is fair? If yes then 1 sec is not important to me. I am enjoying my car...

[Lauren 2259]

Yes, I think it's fair, the Fiesta has a power deficit but a torque advantage. GT86 has TC too, but it was turned off. You could put grippier tyres on the GT and it would likely win, but being quicker round a lap for me is not the be all and end all for a car.

Are we talking same TC here Turbo Charger / Traction Control

[Lauren 2259]

Turbo IME is never described as TC, so I could only think he meant TC as in traction control.
