It has been almost two months since Ford published the third episode of its “Focus ST Sessions” web on August 29, only to remove the video a few hours later, without ever explaining why it did so.
Now we see that the Blue Oval has re-launched the clip under the new title “(Abandoned) Block Party”, again featuring the Focus ST versus the VW Golf GTI Mk6 with professional drivers Ken Block and Vaughn Gittin Jr. taking the wheel. Obviously, you will be wondering if Ford changed anything in the latest clip.
Well, if our memory serves us right (if not, feel free to correct us in the comments area), the only difference we noticed is that the automaker removed the last scene when Gittin Jr. parks the GTI and jumps into his drift-prepped Mustang.
In this video, instead of getting into his V8-powered ‘Stang, Gittin Jr. is filmed heading towards the blue Focus ST. Guess that worked better with Ford’s marketing team, too bad for them that we noticed it…
