Yeah, FastTrack re-classes both the Focus SVT and the SE-R spec V to GS.
The SVT Focus was the one that showed up the the season finale in Detroit. He was from Road & Track, and did a write-up about the event. He was running street tires, but he also ran the course about 25 times. The guy just crossed the finish line and queued up in the paddock right away. Did that for 2 full heats, iirc. His times weren't posted, but the fastest I saw was about .5 seconds quicker than my time.
In my defense, I was fighting crazy oversteer in 2 corners, and never got that under wraps. Plus, I was the only GS on race tires, so I was not 'competing' per say. I gave rides to todras, Stazi, and a couple Focus guys I know, so I always had a passenger (but sometimes that helps balance the car, so... :rolleyes: )
Short story... It was fast in the corners. I felt like it could have driven it a bit more agressively, but it was a prototype, so maybe he was being sweet. On race tires, with equal runs, equal drivers, I'd say the focus wins out.
