Tasty Classics Just The Lap - Ford Focus ST225 2007 Nurburing 8.51 BTG 24/08/2024

[@moneyprofessional]

JFC you're a bloody decent driver with some pretty massive balls, ragging that round. Great video man!

[@370DatsunZed]

Nailing that pass on the TT, and holding on through grim death at the Carousel was ragged edge stuff!!!! It's obvious you really know how to drive, don't say you don't because you really do...and it's also blatant that you really know "The Green Hell" like the back of your hand. That was an absolute joy to watch (again)...right on the edge a couple of times...big balls Sir..big balls.

[@MattGD2001]

I think that head cam is a must have for any future Nurburgring visits. We can see the gauges, the track clearly, much better view. Thanks Ben

[@tastyclassics]

Absolutely, I need to try and remember to use it around the workshop too!

[@gwengo4167]

@@tastyclassicsremember to switch it off when going to the toilet though 😉😆

[@zombienation68]

Nice extra episode 😁 just did the endurance one and this popped up, sweet...love a bit of ST, prefer the 220 but that looks quite cool, thx for the 2 1/2 hours entertainment Ben

[@SimonJohnson-y9l]

Loved the head cam for someone who loves drives american you take the corners in your stride Ben 😂 ❤

[@wiedietie]

Nailed it! 😎

[@craigrice1960]

Good driving pal

[@davidwebb8877]

Lovely sounding grunt from that 5 cylinder 👍

[@geoffh2560]

Nailed it Ben, lovely stuff

[@andysimkin5200]

Love your "Tasty Classics" lateral G-force indicator hanging off the rear-view mirror

[@johantibblin7392]

Hi! Superb driving!🎉 Very nice videos from you.

[@jani7683]

Love that 5 cylinder warble

[@billysdubstepsheppard9972]

Love the lap i wouldn't do it to my one but respect to you and your skills

[@keithf8890]

You drive like my mum.Nice one Ben,all the best.

[@cheferic6969]

Nice lap around the ring sir, you handle the wheel quite well. 🎉

[@karlstanway4528]

Great driving mate should of slapped the heater on hot full speed 😂

[@michaeljamesgoderick5805]

This car is totally cool, you have to keep this one Ben and the Miata/MX5!

[@thebigbowler]

A couple of months ago it was dying on a driveway, Ben spanked the arse off it on the way there, all the way round and all the way back. Never panicked once when it nearly shit itself on more than one occasion. Meanwhile, I panic every time I do my 15-mile commute because I think I've heard a new rattle 😂

[@tastyclassics]

🤣🤣

That thing can shift. I wonder what you might have done with bigger pots, vented discs, better pads, better sport contact tyres and a better working intercooler?

[@roberthocking9138]

Not a bad time for a 2 wheel drive shopping cart.😂. Well done. You have a lot of confidence on the turn in of that car.😬

[@jayjay2555]

Just love it😁🫶🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@malcolmwhite6144]

Love over taking the TT he had all the gear no idea me thinks 😢😅good vid as always mate Chrs Malc uk 🇬🇧

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Did you not put the heater on to help cool the engine ? Would have been my thought... crack the rear windows open...

[@zombienation68]

Used to be a weekly occurance on my XR3 🤣

[@tastyclassics]

Definitely should of but didn't even cross my mind at the time!

[@paulmckinder3082]

I thought the same, but imagine that would of been an oven inside the focus. The first ford oven and how to cook a pizza while going round the ring happy days

[@karlstanway4528]

I have a track day mk1 st170 and it does help it when running it round my local track oulton park And loose a lbs whilst being slow cooked 😂

[@bradyclarkson5369]

have considered a polarizing lens cap it would much improve glare and reflections

[@MrMaxidc]

Always adored after given chance to drive one back in the day. Guaranteed to pull skin off rice pudding and leave you with jaw ache from smiling so much.... P.s. Credit where credit due. Tasty driver. Unfazed at speed/cornering. Should be holding a thatchers as making look to easy 🍺😃

[@dangerotterisrea]

Thats going well!!

[@Lysimachus]

Those photos are fantastic, I'm so jealous. You could have big posters of those and its actually you in the car, not some racing driver.

[@stevenfrance6648]

Brilliant

[@simonwoods3827]

Ben I just love your channel and think if possible you should build a track focused car so that you can beat the epic time you set in the ford... However I'm not sure what classic would be a seriously suitable car for you I think you have real driving talent and it all costs so much to produce your content that I enjoy so much so i hope at some point you can figure out the next one to send to Germany may be do something really bonkers like a tuned Oxford Cambridge 😅😅😅

[@tastyclassics]

Haha watch this space I'm thinking of a track focussed potential race series car, and it won't be what people expect!

[@gwengo4167]

“Some say he sprinkles rust from his cars on his cornflakes, and that he has a life size tattoo of Princess Margaret’s face on his left buttock, all we know is, he’s called Ben” Absolutely awesome driving. The car looks and performs amazing. Will there be any future mods to keep the temp down and to add some more mmmmppphhhh????

[@WixyJixy]

We'll make a racing driver out of you yet!

[@Restoration9s]

Thats some pedalling Ben, and M car next would be fun ?

[@tastyclassics]

Cheers mate I'd love to, just need to find the right one for the right money!

[@Strontium_Dog_72]

Are you not tempted to upgrade the cooling, suspension and brakes and then take it back to see what a difference it makes to the lap time? Massively impressed how well the Focus did though and full respect for your skills too. Subaru WRX wagon next?

[@tastyclassics]

If it was closer but I'd rather take something different each time, I have been looking at Subaru's, just awaiting the right one to come up, I really like the blobeye shape!

[@tastyclassics]

Bugeye sorry!

[@Strontium_Dog_72]

@@tastyclassics sweet. I think that like the ST if you find a clean unmodified WRX, prices should start going up over the next 5 years. Plus they sound great like the ST.👌

[@aaronkeight2488]

What do you do with regards to the existing tyres on the car say like if they look okay tread wise. But not knowing history of tyres. Knowing your going on autobahn and race track?

[@mbvalency]

want to see the full footage... parteon looks nice, but I don't have 10$ for that... 2$ would be ok...

[@z400b]

Spooky

[@PhilipSibley-f3u]

Think I’d still rather the Audi, way more reliable and less rusty!

[@graemecan]

Nice drive. Plenty of squealing 🫣🫣

[@ClarkeGable1954]
