The BEST Ford Focus I've ever driven around the Nürburgring? BTG

[@DutchFocusST]

Thanks for having me Dale!

[@jorikj]

Now that is what I call a racecar. It's a nice car from factory but this, this is built to race!

[@CunningStuntsGoFast]

saw this guy going from 9 minutes to sub 8s lately , i know how much effort he put into it , respect melvin de pelvin !

[@BTGDale]

He's worked hard at it! #builtnotbought

[@fredrikharaldsson2489]

Shout out to Melvin, great car mate, hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the video!👍 Dale, top notch! 👍

[@seboest20]

With so many people watching channels of simulator laps around the Nürburgring I don't understand why more people aren't subscribed to you doing the real thing! Loving all the ringtool videos, great work!

[@BTGDale]

Thanks 😊

[@Trendyflute]

It looks very satisfying and planted, I likey! I own a Miata now and of course it's fun but RWD isn't the total game changer I expected; honestly some of the best driving experiences I've had have been in FWD cars, FWD is underrated and can do amazing things when tuned properly as Melvin and his Focus demonstrate 👍

[@BTGDale]

I totally agree!

[@mattiparviainen607]

What a Car, and great Lap , thank you both!

[@Tommi2OOO]

That looked like bloody good fun, what a car!! Fantastic build you've got there Melvin.

[@BTGDale]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@twanvorstenbosch]

The legendary words ' absolutly fantastic , top notch ' 😍 what a machine Melvins 'the beast' focus 🔝😎

[@j.jmcclure5517]

Big power, FWD. I was expecting this thing to be all over the billet. I was wrong!! I bet the Raeder setup has worked wonders for this car

[@SuperMrFireblade]

Great to see dedication from an owner in building such a tool (#ringtool), makes a refreshing change from all the supercar (crappy driver) dross you see on Nurburgring content. Also good to see a pro that relies on the 'ring for their daily bread respecting the speed restriction areas and great timing showing exactly why! Top marks for that.

[@BTGDale]

Thanks 👍

[@simonskentelbery]

Oooof what a piece of kit. The sounds! Great video, as per! Looked quite friendly/accessible for a 400bhp fwd car? Some utter cockwombles going through the speed limit though...5 seconds earlier and they’d have hit that car entering.

[@BTGDale]

Yes, exactly

[@rickbossv5]

Finally! Awesome car! Just the wrong color 😂 Credits to Melvin for building this beaST!

[@DutchFocusST]

Effe dimmen he :P

[@DoctorCarLove]

[@BTGDale]

Can't wait!

[@mrfinger01man]

[@_Bryant.R]

Love it! Great car and cool owner. More of these videos please.

[@BTGDale]

Roger, can do! 👍

[@bvb09duisburg02]

Thats a real Touristenfahrt. Enjoy, Talk just having fun. #noCrash Have fun and Drive Home. But NO some oberwhelmed ppl on a beautiful Sunday have to play „i become the next NLS/VLN driver“

[@Pagelos]

Man, what a machine. You can see how stable it is just from watching the footage. I myself started my track car build a years ago and seeing this build blows my mind knowing how much time and effort has been put into it. I can also relate to "go with the best directly" as I've also gone half-ass on parts in previous builds and then some time later they become the weak link and you want to upgrade. Awesome lap. Very inspiring with the true meaning of the word in mind

[@MoepMoep-Movies]

YESSS! That´s how a proper Trackcar should sound! Like a breathing animal! I love the 5Zylinder sound sooo much! Whish my Volvo would sound like that :)

[@BTGDale]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Xav911]

would be nice nice to see a lap with Thilo's Leon and this car.

[@BTGDale]

@xthilox ?

[@fastluxo1006]

Looks awesome

[@BTGDale]

It was! Thanks for watching mate!

[@964tractorboy]

A fantastic Focus. Such a great sound. Would love to see more laps with it this summer. Or next. Or...

[@Wilkkid1]

Fantastic footage and great driving there i enjoyed every minute 👍

[@yarisTSk]

fwd!

[@shaun4443]

What a RUSH!

[@ealoken]

This car is awesome, all the racecar sounds. pssshhhhhhh!!

[@BTGDale]

Awesome sounds!

[@stuntman591]

Great lap. I like his labour of love ploughing that investment and time I to that car. Off topic for my own interest, which car in all time have you most enjoyed doing a lap in?

[@BTGDale]

I'm so lucky to have driven so many cool cars here, a lot of the time it's about having fun with my friends. The enjoyment is coming from lots of stuff, not just the car. For example, some of the Yaris laps with the #club1000 gang are easily in my top five best ever laps. Also the first time I drove the Project 8 properly, lap-record, fast... the GT86 Cup car in the wet on the slicks, taking a podium from the car ahead of us. Loads. I do enjoy a Caterham with a race motor though!

[@stuntman591]

@@BTGDale That's a top list. It's good to hear that you didn't rattle off the expensive factory cars and super cars. I get what you mean by fun. I used to be a van driver many years ago in a 2.0 litre petrol Toyota Hiace. Powersliding in 3rd gear in the wet on roundabouts was a hoot and still makes me chuckle!

[@LDstroy_story]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@doctor_who1]

9:27 - is that the Fernando Alonso method of generating understeer to rotate the car?

[@shaun4443]

5 MPG! haha 😂 😂 worth it though!

[@88budz]

Not sure if it was mentioned but is he on stock driveshafts or the heavy duty ones?

[@victorduartee2682]

Que mod tiene el coche? Suspensiones kw ? Interculer exhaust? Power,i have interesting the same car tracktool

[@GALBOAWO]

[@relaxwithme786]

How do you not get the block cracking

[@elxggs1237]

Fucking amazing cars but in UK 550nm and 330bhp is it's normal form

[@thomaswilliamfirby180]

[@DutchFocusST]

[@victorduartee2682]
