Tanner Foust driving the Ford Focus RS500 on the Nordschleife

The Ford Focus RS500 is one beastly little hatchback--not quite as insane as Tanner Foust's typical Rockstar Ford Fiesta, but quick with 350 horsepower piped through the front wheels in this modified example.

How does it do at the Nurburgring with Foust at the wheel? Pretty well, though we only get a small slice of the action. It does look like the front wheels are working very, very hard in the little bit we can see, but that doesn't stop the RS500 from hitting 150 mph in three different places on track.
