That ST driver deserves a massive shout out. In the roll race you can see how ridiculous his shifting is to be able to keep up with a DSG. Anyone who’s raced against a DSG in a manual knows how every gear change can “shoot” the DSG forward. Fair play to the lad!

[@tellyawhatmate]

Big time, u need around an extra 50/60hp at the wheels to keep up with a DSG from a dig I found, And that’s nailing the shifts

Two things I took from this was that the focus was definitely the faster car as once he was in 4th gear he was either pulling back or indeed pulling ahead as third gear appeared to struggle with getting on full as quickly. And secondly the golf r driver was a little happy on the roll races and definitely left early. Either way great battle guys

Too easy to go fast in a Golf R... All my respect goes to the Focus ST owner 👍🏻

[@ashgovender2279]

Absolutely

DSG will always be better than manual, enjoy the engagement 😂😂😂

We will. Enjoy your fast appliance. Thats all it is.

Awesome race, that focus is a proper drivers car though 🔥🔥🔥

Legend sitting on the Ford Focus. However, congratulations Mr. GOLF.

[@michaelw4620]

The VW gearbox is the difference here. Every manual gear change in the Ford dropped the car back. Goes to show how well a modern auto box is. If the Ford got a sorted auto/dsg box it would be a complete set up. 👍

Haha ford build a decent auto box? You're a comedian mate 🤣😂🤣😂

[@michaelw4620]

@@steeldevil98 Not sure you understand what’s been said. I said “if the Ford had a decent auto/dsg gearbox” I didn’t say it had to be a Ford gearbox. The focus he has built already has part Volvo drivetrain and there are companies that supply custom auto gearboxes for various engine set ups. 🙄

@OFFICIALLY GASSED - OG the Golf R jumped the start on the 2nd and 3rd rolling race... I reckon that ST would've won on those roll races if the R didn't jump...

[@Spg-93]

These lads were on it! Great race.

[@lamazver]

Props to the st guy... Thats skill right there✌🏼 manual gang❤️

[@skylinefan4420]

The st looks like an absolute blast, having driven a golf r before I found it very boring, extremely consistent and felt very safe, all the time but that's what made it a boring car to drive

[@elvisrobles6203]

Predicability = consistency 🔨, this means you can drive the car faster

[@thomaswilliamfirby180]

That ST/RS rates highly in my book as it’s a home build and that deserves acknowledgement

Arnies inner football hooligan came out when he got that sub 3! Proper gassed 😆

[@Spankyhandpaw]

The gearbox is the difference between these two, the golf my granny could launch, and it was bought not built. Matey in the ST... Respect, that is a MAD build, I love it soo soo much. Build the motor to give yourself another 1-2k RPM and you should reel that DSG advantage right out 😎. Your work is exempliry my friend.

[@jameslewis8748]

Sams ST is ridiculous! Amazing car and amazing bloke! Honestly! Abit of an unfair rolling race in the 2nd and 3rd! Clear as day the VW getting a head start! Nonetheless golf R’s are serious and rapid but would take the st all day long!! Great build!!!

[@kostas9123]

Props to Sam and his ST!

[@christopherdaniel2747]

Lol look at the fun he has without shifting, Cause he built a car the way he needed it to be.
