Motorbase Ford Focus RS BTCC Test
Motorbase Ford Focus RS BTCC Test
James received many prizes for taking the Mini Challenege JCW Championship in 2019, one of which was a test in the Motorbase Ford Focus RS BTCC car. James said his time in the 265bhp MINI prepared him well for the touring car outing.
James: “Getting to drive a BTCC car is a dream come true,” he said. “Two reasons I chose to race in the MINI CHALLENGE were to learn about racing a front-wheel-drive car, and for the possibility of this test. I quickly felt comfortable in the Focus. The Dunlop tyres, as used in the MINI CHALLENGE, allowed me to push even though the track temperature was very cool. The JCW cars prepare you very well in learning about car control, and they feel quite similar to a BTCC car in their behaviour.”
