Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost Nürburgring 9:19 BTG HEAVY TRAFFIC

Car: 2011 Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost 150hp.
Tires: Continental ContiSportContact 5.

I overtook 14 cars and 5 motorcycles on this lap, so I think that a laptime of 9:15 - 9:10 should be possible.

I've just had the same car. 1.6t zetec s 180bhp. Had it remapped and dyno tuned. It's now running at 215bhp and 260nmt, I'm really impressed

I'm italian. I have a Focus mk3 1.6 turbo 150 CV. I bought 2 years ago. I love Nurburgring, my favourite track on the sim
You're rally a good driver, reach the limit on a Dangerous track. Chapeau

Congratulations on a great lap and a great video

Great lap! I'd like to try that in my new 180 bhp Focus Zetec S.
Good driving on such a busy track.

Excellent driving. Was the transmission manual or automatic?

That was an absolutely epic lap! Congratulations! I have the 125hp 1.6 Ti-VCT, even though it has less power it's still really, really great fun to drive. Just have a quick question, how was the ESC intervention during the lap? Did you feel it kicking in a lot, and making the car brake through corners? Thanks!

Wish we got this engine in the States. All we get is the 2.0 N/A and this model year they finally started offering the 1.0 EcoBoost.

[neileverett]

obviously tuned, as my 180hp never picked up that quick even with a stage 2 tune !

[andreiarama]

great driving !!! i'm thinking to buy this car with this engine. can you tell me the everage fuel consumption ? and did you ever thought about increasing the power to 180 hp ? thx

[PhoenixNLx]

you can chip your 150hp version with the 182hp version of the same engine! You can do it yourself if you have the software.

i have a 150hp, tuned with Ford software of 182hp, got 98 RON in mine and i have 200hp and 290nm :)

[andreiarama]

I have the 150hp engine on my focus. I was searching for full specs of the engine in the internet and I've found different numbers for the torque figure. The 150hp engine has 240nm and the 182hp one 240nm or 270-280nm with the overboost. my question is : the 150hp engine has overboost as well ? maybe you could help me with a link with the full specs of the engine. my research proved to be pointless. THANK YOU!

Congratulations, great video! Can you make a video like this whit this amazing car on the autobahn?

[ChrisCaaa]

how did the brakes hold up? plenty of travel by the end of the lap?

[Ruudiii]

What happened at 6:00? Did you stop accelerating or Did it clock out at 180?

[Kjenep]

@JLM_MEDIA How was the brakefade trough the lap?

Recently purchased the 2016 (2014-) ECO-Beast ;) and wanted to see how it would react on Nurburgring... I saw it... !
Your Driving is "Next to perfect" ;) I can see you Know the "Ring" by heart... And find the "APEX" with both your eyes closed :) God Forbid:))
I did see the ESP off ...
I'm sure most of us would like to know what tires you were on. "Cont Sport 3" or "Mich Primacy HP" .. 215/50R17 or 235/45R18?! ... Was it High Octane or standard?
Thank you!
