Fiesta ST MK7.5 Track car

[Zumbruk]

Holey moley, you don't do anything by halves, do you?

Glad you're not too badly busted up.

Sorry about all the time and effort spent on the car.

Glad to hear you'll be back.

Let's be careful out there!

[Nelka]

Gutted for you, what an absolute pisser.

[tomkingshott]

saw your post on Trackstormers the other day and was gutted when I saw it had been following this build for a while and it influenced some of the parts I have purchased for my ST180 also.

If you need any standard bits or pieces I have a few bits floating around that I don't need whatsoever you can have if needed.

At the risk of sounding like a vulture (a good intentioned one that is) if you need some parts gone I may also be interested and hope to get you in another track car soon!

[WCZ]

glad you're okay and you achieved the lap time you wanted. on the brighter side..

Great thread. I enjoyed reading it all and asking you questions.

Fair play for taking the crash (seemingly) well, it must have really hurt physically and in terms of confidence.

I'll be in contact about parts 👀

[The Bearded Tit]

Hell of a shame about the car, though at least you're okay. I'd be in tears if that happened to any of my cars.

Well, that's one hell of a 'full stop' to the thread!

Honestly, I'm just pleased you're okay and able to tell the tale - testament to both Ford and yourself. Amazing how it's always the last session of the day though eh?

Just wanted to say a massive 'thank you' for the thread - I've really enjoyed it and would be an instant subscriber to the next one.

Yeah just one of them things and getting out in one piece I feel lucky as the car can allways be replaced .

Allready looking in to my next project so there will be another one soon and itching to get back on the track .

Thank you but the car will be going to the big scrapyard in the sky .

Yes I will be stripping the parts off the car when the ribs heal .

Yes I was happy about that so some good came out of the day .

Strange as no confidence was knocked and I would be out on track tomorrow if I could .

I think as I know how I made the mistake it's not something that I will ever do again and will be looking to go back to goodwood ASAP .

Yes parts will be for sale somewhen.

It is a shame but the cars can allways be replaced and it gives me a new project to get stuck in to .

[The Bearded Tit]

Question is; what car's next?

[J4CKO]

Oh dear, gutted for you mate.

Glad you aren't quite as badly broken as the car seems to be, honestly thought you were dealing with a bent rod or something Bad enough but not quite like this.

Hope you recovery is swift (ribs are 6 weeks apparently according to the last nurse I spoke to). The end of one project opens the door to a new one.

Good attitude that, and hope that you can get back out there as soon as ribs and funds allow. What an arse of an accident, put it in the bin and move on.

[Speedy300]

Sorry to hear about the accident, wishing you a speedy recovery.

I popped up to Goodwood on the day to watch the track day as I am local. I remember your car was flying round along with a couple of mini's. I've enjoyed reading this build and l look forward to your next project.

My Clio 182 suffered the same fate around Goodwood...

Ahh good question and so many to choose from but so many turbo cars that I have had I'm feeling some N/A might be in order .

Thanks and yes I woul much rather have had a mechanical issue but the car was running very well and it was a moment of driver error that caused the damage.
