Focus RS: Rebirth of an Icon - Ep 7: Close Scrutiny

The seventh episode of Ford's 'Rebirth of an Icon' documentary focuses on the car's first public track-outing at Goodwood, driven by Ken Block, as well as the car going for it's first sign-off.

After much work on the car, Ken Block takes the car to Goodwood for its first public track-outing, taking it up the famous Goodwood Hillclimb. And he appears to be quite impressed with the way the car handles on the narrow, twisty roads.

Afterwards, the RS is taken to the test facility for its first sign-off, and all of the development team is very pleased with the progress that has been made, especailly to make the car feel sportier, sound better and handle better. But under close scrutiny from Raj Nair, while the car performs well in Sport, Track and Drift modes, there are still issues with the Normal mode, and the car isn't signed off.
