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.

Pretty cool video !! Now I know who bought all Ford's fiesta ST cv axles they had in stock, lol

Great post, thanks

They use the none ST rear beam axle

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

It would be nice to see some of the build info for their full race cars.

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]

 

[aar0n]

That was pretty legit. I cant wait to hit the lottery and go to that school

So you did the school?

Who's up for a group buy for the 5 day?

 

[VerenaMei]

[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.
