The Technical rundown or Specification
                                 of the Fiesta.

Firstly the car is a Ford Fiesta Si, this car has never been run on the normal roads and never will, firsty I will go through the specification:
ENGINE.
It is basicly a standard 1800 road engine, as the regulations of the championship will not let us do too much, although the engine is tuned by specialists.


GEARBOX.
This is completly standard

SUSPENSION.
This is completly different to a road car as it is a lot stiffer in order to cut down body roll and make the car more responsive, also the shock absorbers damping rates are adjustable so you can change things depending on what track you are at and what the weather conditions are like.

SHELL.
This is completly stripped of any interior appart from the dashboard which stays, and I have a new race seat fitted which has a six point harness to keep me strapped in the car. For safety features the shell has a full roll cage welded into it and a fire extinguisher piped in the car. The roll cage not only acts as a safety device but as an aid to handling as it completly stiffens the whole car allowing very little body flex.

BRAKES.
The brakes are similar the discs and pads are the same size as a standard fiesta si, but the brake pads are carbon metallics which means they stop the car a lot faster that normal pads would they also wear out quicker, the pads are so harsh they can ruin a set of discs in sometimes only two races. Also special racing brake fluid is used as normal brake fluid could not cope with the temprtures and would boil which would mean I would loose brakes. Competition brake fluid can tolerate much higher tempratures.

TYRES.
Slick tyres are used, these provide massively more grip than standard road tyres but unfortunately they wear out rather a lot quicker. Although having said this slicks would be a bad choice in the wet, in this case I would choose cut slicks or wets.

And that basicly sums up my race car.
