He was fifth fastest on the day (quite an acheivement given who he was racing with), but his car died on the grid of the "A" Final. Its a shame as I was looking forward to seeing how he'd fare against the likes of Isachsen and Hansen - irrespective the guys definately got skill!
As a minor side note (and not that it makes any difference to the actual racing), but Foust's car sounded phenomenal on track. It was just that bit more aggressive sounding than the other Olsberg Fiesta's - plus he was getting bloody great flames out the exhaust!  (Though maybe thats why it expired on the grid!) |
Thats interesting to hear that. Rallycross at X Games will be interesting for sure, no doubt it'll be the usual X-box Game legends doing that.
It's a bloody shame Fousts car died then, that would have been very interesting to see what he could do with the big boys.
