Not bad kwaad. But you did have two benefits over the MR2, Focus has better suspension than MR2, and Focus has front wheel drive (depending on Focus model, it may have had even more horsepower). Europeans indeed know how to make a good suspension, only one that makes better suspension than the German, is the French (but, thats the only good thing in French cars...).

But it was nice to see that you liked racing IRL, try gravel next time, it's much more fun than racing in tarmac.

 On that kinda track, gravel is just a little lot slower, and a little more... 'fishy' :P

 The MR2 has 8 less horses, and 10 more foot lbs/torque.

The MR2 is roughly 25% lighter, has much wider tires, and for racing, has a MUCH better suspension.

 

The fastest MR2 there pulled a 47 second run. 12 seconds faster than my brother. He just cant drive. :P

Dont bash the MR2 on a track. Laugh at every one you see playing hop-scotch hopping all the way down the interstate, jarring the driver out of his/her mind. 

Bash MR2? No way, that's not what i was meaning. It's a great car, steady and well balanced. I was just meaning that you underestimate the Focus. Just like you, people usually overrestimate the benefits of the width of tire (they do have meaning, but not that way as people seem to think). And just as i said, not bad. Your brother had the better car and you had almost the same time. I couldn't watch the video, so it's hard for me to say at this point would the track you drove be fun in gravel. But try gravel in general. Gravel and ice, the two best surfaces for racing.
