This Is The Biggest Focus RS Drift Mode Fail We’ve Ever Seen

A Ford Focus RS driver attempts to drift a hairpin on a twisty New York state road, but gets it completely wrong - with expensive consequences...

Fortunately, it looks like the driver was uninjured in the crash. The accident happened in New Paltz, New York, during a cruise organised by the NY ST club. According to the uploader, the organisation operates a zero tolerance policy toward dangerous driving, and the RS pilot responsible “was immediately booted from our club”.

This isn’t the first Drift Mode crash we’ve seen, and I fear it won’t be the last…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Hi, would you take £900 for the wheels?

One of many boys…one of many

0:32 WHAT ARE THOOOSE!!!!

I’m hoping that:

RS owners are gonna see these videos and take note to prevent future accidents
Ford are not gonna see these videos and say “ok, fine, no more drift button for the next RS, since people don’t know how to use it”
