Can the undoubted king of the stage be king of the road as well? Henry tries the brand-new Ford Fiesta R5, part of the bright new future for international rallying !

Is that road from Rally of the Lakes? Looks awesome!

Its the Honister Pass, near Keswick, in the English Lake District.

The M-Sport factory is also nearby at Cockermonth, so I presume that's why they tested the car there.

I just saw this info from Evo on Twitter and haven't read the magazine yet.

EDIT: thanks Makinen-fan !

For those of you who don't know the UK the area known as the Lake District not only contains the lakes but also mountains with steep valleys also produced by the glaciation process that resulted in the lakes. If we could close our public roads for rallies this area would be A1 territory. If you can get on these roads very early in the day (before the tourists) the experience is thrilling

Tom Cave is another driver associated with R5 Fiesta from his twitter:
