WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT
To find outifit’s good enough to be a credible fast Ford hatchback flagship
The Focus ST got several chances to stretch its legs last week, with multiple trips towards England’s south coast: one fora socially distanced wedding reception and the other to experience Mazda’s heritage fleet, marking 30 years since the fabled 787B won the Le Mans 24 Hours. No offence to the bride and groom, but I’m sure you can guess which I was more excited about, having limited experience of driving cars from before the 1990s –and no experience at all of rotary engines.
