Nice! Saw the last video, but not the first 2. The FiST is such a good platform! [emoji106]

Yeah I saw these and thought you guys might want to see them if you already haven't. I loved to know all the mods he did to his 2WD FIST. I didn't even know there was a Rally race for the 2WD version.

The TON Fiesta ST uses the stock engine with tuning from Mountune, Sadev (I think, as they have used a couple of different transmissions) sequential 6-speed, and the suspension and brakes from the MSport Fiesta R2. The ST shown in the videos was a production Fiesta ST that was modified at Team O'Neil for Rally America competition. So far, the Fiesta has won 3 Rally America 2WD National Championships. The first with Chris Duplessis, then with Branden Reeves, and last year with ACP using the ST. I think there are at least 3 different ST's competing in 2WD this season. Every race there are more and more Fiestas running!

If you want to learn to rally a Fiesta ST, Team O'Neil has a number of the left over Fiesta Movement ST's along with the original Fiesta Movement cars that they use for the rally school.

The rally kids were up here last weekend. Disappointed I missed them. I was set to attend a track day in Shelton at The Ridge (where the rally cars are staged), but opted for a weekend in Vancouver with my lovely wife. It was a GREAT weekend, but had I known that the Olympus Rally was going to running (and staging at The Ridge), well maybe I would have stuck with my plans. Didn't learn about the timing alignment until after. Anyway, I'm definitely going to see how things line up next year. A weekend with a track day plus spectating some rally racing could make for an awesome time!
