Focus RS-chasing hatch revealed

Last week we set you a challenge to identify what car was chasing the Ford Focus RS around the Millbrook alpine route.

We had plenty of guesses – ranging from an Escort Cosworth to a white rental van – but only a few people got it right.

Today we can reveal what was keeping up with the Focus (just), which is a remarkable achievement considering what it is.

But to find out for yourself you’ll have to watch the video for yourselves.

There's also a full gallery of pictures from the budget hot hatch shootout, which picks the most fun car you can buy for £15,000, and which features in this week's Autocar magazine, on sale today.
