always great seeing the old Fiesta Movement cars in action!

I highly encourage any Fiesta ST owner who is looking to learn more about car control to attend the Team O'Neil Rally School and Car Control Center.

I am 99.99% sure the ST's at the school are stock, except for Bilstein dampers, roll bar, skid plate, and tires. The competition cars are very different from the school cars. When I drove the original Fiesta Movement cars, they were pretty much stock except for the changes listed for the ST and they had the ESC/TC defeated.

Here is a video from my day at the school, including a ride-along with Verena (which was the scariest ride I have ever had with so little horsepower)

You are most likely correct, I am pretty sure it is the race cars that get the rear axle change, I talked to Tim directly about it, very good guy:)

I'm pretty sure you're right about the mods. I had a close look at the rally ST's yesterday. Haha! That was a fun day! [emoji85][emoji469][emoji594]

[MENTION=1614]reracer[/MENTION] yup! I did the 5-day school in 2010, then moved here to train with them. It's seriously amazing what you learn.

Well, color me jealous. I wish we had more rally races here on the west coast. I have a old SVT Focus that would be fun to get dirty.

Take a look into SCCA or NASA Rallycross. It is gaining in popularity and a great way to get started. Rallycross is autocrossing on dirt instead of stage rally, which is more like road racing (in terms of car prep).

Yeah, that was a very fun day. Last night at a Christmas party, Sara and I were talking about how much fun that trip was and how we hope to do it again some day. I will have to see if my old ST is out there as a school car. I keep looking in the pictures for a blue one without the radio antenna as that one is most likely mine.
