Formula Ford EcoBoost. Street Legal Racer on Road and Nürburgring - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS

You see, big car companies can have a sense of humour! Take a Formula Ford racer, add a tuned 1 litre 3cyl motor with over 200hp and you have a car which ace racer Nick Tandy got around the Ring in 7min 22sec. That's special, but even more special when it's on the public highway.

It’s 2023 and I still want one of these badly!

[AleksSnipes]

Maybe I should get one of these so people will stop asking me for rides...

[QtheMisanthrope]

omg the noise that turbo makes is amazing

"The engine bay is more crowded than a Indian train." Hilarious :)

Out of all of the car guys currently doing reviews of machinery in a video format, Chris is well above the rest.  I enjoy his take on the rides, and the way in which the videos are edited for YouTube viewing.  Thanks for the entertainment, and the information which goes along with it.

5:33 Damn! that is as close to the kerb as you would ever want to get in one of those....

[buca]

It's so light, you need to be careful where you park it. 2 burly blokes could just pick it up and be off with it.

[Stryke]

Thank you for just giving us the full lap uncut!

[rageme]

that front right wheel cover just about came off on that straight lol

[ThrowingItAway]

Car makers.... this is what a turbo charged performance engine should sound like. Not a vacuum cleaner -_-

[syedusamamanzoor]

Finally a sports car....that actually is a sportscar and not a luxury hotel room

[Lucidity]

I just want to say thank you so much for not putting music in the mix for the ring lap especially. So many other auto-journalist channels can't seem to stop putting music over everything and hiding that beautiful engine sound, and just the feel of track driving is ruined by that imo. Another amazing video /DRIVE!

The perfect road-trip car! I'd love to go from LA to San Francisco in that bad boy! When you are 6'5" you NEED to have a comfy economical vehicle like this! Now to convince the

That Turbo coming on boost sounds absolutely amazing! LOVE IT!

57 MPG! Who needs a Prius???

Seriously, if they put a roof and another seat on this

[staudertj]

Hell, I'd love it if Ford would just sell this as a rolling frame with the ability to title it for the street.  Let the enthusiast figure out the power source.

[BenParker]

The camera work in this video is breathtaking!! Those sweepers on the 'Ring with the camera simultaneously tracking and sliding sliding away from the Ford are spectacular. Chris Harris, you're a damn good driver and automotive journalist. To Chris's video capture and editing crew: bravo!

[RoseRoo]

1L engine, with new ECU, and a turbocharger from 1.6L EcoBoost engine, can do this....this is insane !
The 3 cylinder engine sound qiute nice :-)

[justinnitsuj]

I've watched allot of Nurburgring laps...this is one of my favorite....it's a Road car presenter who gets to race around the ring....experiencing racing thrills for the first

If the answer is always Miata... It might be time to change your answer :D
