Your insurance covers stupidity.

I would expect every RS to have spent some time in the body shop. Just like the Impreza RS.

ONCE.
Ben Collins drifts looked about the same as the kids-a straight line sideways, no arc at all. Ben had the slight advantage in runoff room.
Video seems to keep getting taken down but a lot of people have downloaded and re-uploaded it, so a simple search for "focus RS drift fail" gets this video. Also a video from Germany, which is less spectacular or pretentiously over-produced but is visible from a few angles.
Like pee in a pool, once you put something online, you can never take it back down.

This kid was in trouble before he even switched to Drift mode, between the inherent understeer in the chassis tuning and the kids inability to pilot said vehicle, it was a stacked deck. A man's got to know his limitations. Focus RS drive modes explained by Ben Collins
Forza nailed the understeer in this car. But some guy at the CFR SCCA RallyX a couple weeks ago set the fast time of the day in one. Maybe the cars best home is the dirt.

Rallycrossing a brand new $40k car. Wow.

I'd buy an RS for $20k with a factory warranty and a sheet metal problem right now if the frame shop says it can be straightened in 2hrs.

Why not? People do that all the time.
I remember someone rallycrossing an STi in 2004... do the math. (And how much was an STi in 2004 dollars?)
That moment when D.K. stands for donkey kong rather then drift king.
