Brands Hatch Track Day 2021 - Fiesta ST

[@Impractical_]

The sounds your Mk8 makes is actually musical

Absolutely love it, just need to sort out the bloody exhaust squeak

[@Kai_ST200]

Hey Sam! Upgrades should be in the coilovers (with adjustable camber), brakes and tires. For my personal opinion also the seats (if you don't use it daily). The rest can come by time. Would love to drive Brands one day 🤩 keep it clean and fast 😁👍

Skip to 7:20 if you want to see the timed lap

What tyres did you had at the track day and what intake temps with stock ic🤔

[@SnowboardingSam]

Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s , rears and front are both around half worn , performed well on the first few laps but my grip started deteriorating / squealing kicked in after 10-15 mins of intense lapping. I couldn’t give you any intake temp figures off the top of my head , but temps were normal throughout all the sessions, even after a long stint the intake was very cool to touch, very impressive. No noticeable power drop off at any point

Took my Bugatti Chiron there last week and did a 23 second lap.

Good video interesting to see the fiesta, I am learning a bit more about them. How are the brakes over a stint? Would they be able to do it with uprated pads and fluid or do people tend to upgrade the system itself? You beat my time in the clio haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7Og2x7hdZmb9E

Hi mate, nice lap in your clio, just seen your video - fantastic track cars for the money (would love to pick one up as a track toy in the future). As for the fiesta, the stock brake setup is useless, even for fast road - dread to think what they’d be like on track! As a minimum, the pads/ fluid definitely need to be upgraded to enjoy yourself on track, even then you’ll still experience the pedal fading after a few laps - better than stock though. I did braided lines and that made a good difference to retaining the pedal feel even when your 5+ hard laps deep. I’d say my setup was the most difference you could make for the least amount of money. From what I can tell from the forums, if you want to take track driving seriously in the mk8 you should go for a BBK, offers far more powerful / consistent stopping power for in reality not too much more. Once braking/ suspension has been addressed these cars are pretty quick on track!
