Andrew Gallacher's Focus on the 1/4 mile

Not Scooby related, but here's a few Videos of Andrew Gallacher's focus in action, if anyone's interested. What do you think of the camera work??

Andy Napier's Impreza looked like it had serious problems...they spent ages taking it to bits after its second or third run. This was the first...

A WR1 I spotted.

Love the view. Better on a clear day though!





Maybe a bit young for a few of you on here...Not me though

bloody nice car considering its a ford lol, what sort of times was he running BTW

10.6 today. Wasnt even on slicks because the strip was a bit wet earlier on

its practically a WRC spec car aint it? thought it would have been a bit quicker TBH considering some of the time attack cars are running mid to low nines

That me in the white classic in the 3rd pic managed to get in the top 8 in awd class with 12.4 runs, i raced that car ripped me like

restrictor removed then i take it

It's got a cosworth engine and R&D 6-speed dog box along with a huge list spec list which is everyone's wish list . It's running 670 bhp . At a recent Ford meet it ran 0-60 in 3.06 secs, 0-100 in 6.34 secs, 1/4 mile in 10.78 secs @ 134.55 mph and top speed on that day that it achieved was 154.56 mph .

Cheers Paul.

Think his old focus cracked 200mph with a different gearbox. Might have been his escort actually. They've all had the same 650-670bhp engine in. When he was trying for a high speed run record he was a few mph short, and IIRC the next time he tried he brought a home made spoiler and smashed the record.

What he did was buy a carbon fibre WRC bodykit from M-sport, then build his own car from scratch(space frame chassis) for the bodykit to fit to. So it's not a WRC car although it will probably use some bits that are WRC spec. The cosworth engine sits right back in the engine bay, just like a WRC car but everything is his own design.

Full details and photos of the build, from start to finish can be found here - Andy gallachers focus!Good luck at croft - PassionFord
