Love castle Combe ! Done my first ever track day there in 2009 in my B5 RS4 ! Done castle Combe last August too in my B5 RS4 ! I usually do track days in my R26.

[@SJLAutomotive]

Was speaking to the lads from H Sport at their HQ last week when I was picking bits up from Anderson Race Engines next door. Great bunch of lads with some terrific cars. Hopefully get my ST finished next month so may catch you at a track day some time soon! May even catch you at Spring Action Day if you’re about mate 🤙

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yeh I have a lot of respect for them. Nice boys and sorry no won't be at spring day.

[@SJLAutomotive]

@@Sparkplugsteve Yeah good lads! Okay mate perhaps catch you at a track day soon. Wanted to give Pembrey a go some time this year, how do you book for them?

[@TIM612826]

Very smooth, make it look easy! U should do sum videos of your feet in action! Nice racing, especially against that golf r 👍

[@ianp369]

Amazing driving Steve, not sure if you saw the grey Audi S/RS4 nearly bin it when trying to chase you. It was on your rear camera.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks and I saw it in my mirror at the time. 👍

[@jonyb4]

Steve i cant get over how quick that is roun combe, this footage compared to mine in my 225 is shocking, can see where those 9 seconds are made up

[@vapourwaveculture4059]

Driver mod best mod just keep practicing 👍

[@TIM612826]

Loving the rear view camera, that audi couldn't catch u 😂

[@fordyford]

You are speed hahaha. Good video. Congrats on the PB also. I'll have to look into tyres a bit more for better PB's. Currently using AD08r as a daily/track tyre and really like them but I haven't used anything above these. Until these AD08r, Probably Yokohama S-drives were the best I had used.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Dunlop direzza are very good.

[@fordyford]

@@Sparkplugsteve which model Direzza? What would they be the equivalent to?

[@enzzo9492]

Is there a video of you putting the cage in steve? Thinking of getting one

[@Sparkplugsteve]

No i never filmed it sorry

[@christopherjolly7844]

Where can we follow richards build

[@907thpeterson]

Rich’s car is amazing! Been following that build on Instagram

[@Sparkplugsteve]

It's a show car. Perfect attention to details.

[@StewartSanderson]

Nice to see you finally enjoying the car pal :)

[@leemeredith9411]

Glad i watched this Steve, MRF's were on my shortlist.....not anymore, Direzza's it is

[@TheTechnoaddict]

It looks like the sidewall of the mrf collapsed. Could be tyre pressure.

[@sparkplug964]

Them second set of tyres looked a bit dodgy, never seem bulge like that happen before, any ideas why it happened?

[@rognevs5695]

Happy days underdog 😂 good lap times mid pack of a qualifying time 👍

[@bigwhalejon]

Hey, do you have a big brake kit? Also what pads and rotors are you using?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Hi yes i have the ebc 300mm kit with rpx pads

[@DylanRF7]

This is the video I've been waiting for!! Absolutely brilliant Steve!! What do you use for timing?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Harry's lap timer and thank you.

[@SvenSan]

Does anyone know the wheels this richard from the beginning has on the blue Fiesta?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I think their speedline turini

[@SvenSan]

@@Sparkplugsteve thx

[@larsson7709]

Lucky Steve those MRF’s didn’t blow out on you …Your ST showed well…decent times

[@VdubK]

I wanna know the spec of the S3 saloon haha, you absolutely destroyed it, i didn't know fiesta st's were so capable.....I went Golf R which im currently turning into a track car slowly with all the goodies, although mind you, i've never tracked before...First vid i've seen of yours, great job man!, you killed it!

[@Sparkplugsteve]

All i know about the audi is that it was 600bhp plus but looked a full road spec car with road tyres

[@VdubK]

@@Sparkplugsteve Wow...Still, you destroyed it nonetheless, fantastic driving, even left your squad haha, I'm unsure how much you do but you should definitely look to getting into some sort of competition as I'm sure you'd do brilliantly just from this one drive, only issue is I'm sure they have certain restrictions but there must be a certain power class you can join? great to watch honestly.

[@Tom3294.]

Noticed that RS3 was struggling to keep up!

[@KevMk3]

How you finding the diff now? I’m struggling to get used to mine

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Struggling in what way?

[@MustangWill96]

Makes me want to put mine on track now 😂

[@HarrisonBirch]

What was the black car behind that couldnt keep up? S3? RS3? :D

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Rs3 think it was 600bhp

[@tomreid1746]

It was understeering like an Audi RS3! 😂 Fast in a straight, but not round corners! 👍

[@rh9224]

Would you say it feels quicker with msd map? Even if it is quoted less figures

[@Sparkplugsteve]

It's fast and drives great to be honest.

[@rh9224]

@@Sparkplugsteve it looks it. Hopefully see you at cadwell park in may if you’re on it

[@martcorn]

Do you drive to the track and back again ? I'd be too worried I couldn't get home after binning it . Great video you ragged that car like a nutter lol .

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes I have to drive it home and it is a problem when it breaks.thanks.

@@Sparkplugsteve bloody hell the mrs would kill me lol

@@Sparkplugsteve look forward to that 👌🏻

[@deepee21104]

hmmm....audi took a back seat...?????

[@tech_by_mark]

ive decided to not buy a fiesta ST due to the price of fuel & the bad fuel economy of the fiesta

[@aidenfoster7078]

This is my reality check, £9k ish for an ST in good condition low miles, but then fuel prices as well. With electric cars being pushed, idk if I should get one now or a good economy diesel 😅😭

[@Roundholesinsquarepegs]

Since when was 34 mpg bad

[@harrison1496]

Bought an st just over a month ago, averaging 37mpg with a heavy right foot on national roads
