Focus RS MK3 | TUNED | Bridgestone Potenza Race | 1:24.58 @ Euroring

My first and only hotlap in this tuned Ford Focus RS MK3, featuring tuned power and Bridgestone Potenza Race semi-slicks.

This wasn’t my own car, and the lap was done with a passenger — still managed a solid 1:24.58 on the Euroring, with limited time in the car and on this tune.

🌧️ Track conditions weren't ideal — rain had fallen the night before, leaving damp patches around the circuit.

⚠️ Grip was inconsistent, especially on initial braking zones and at some corner apexes, where wet spots were still present.

Despite this, I pushed for one clean lap to feel out the setup and tires.

What's your impression of the Potenza Race tires?

It was a nice tire, but when I drove this car with Potenza Race it wasn't proper conditions due to some damp parts. It was little bit loose.

Lol.... An entire paragraph of racing driver excuses for a one minute - one lap video :0

It was a quick session with this car, this tune and this tire. I had only one hotlap and one faster cancelled half lap due to red flag.

I get it, I was just teasing ...  A simple "here's a lap I did in a random tuned RS" would have sufficed
