The 2005 Ford Transit is the vehicle you didn't know you needed in a racing simulator! It's a spectacular mod! It's fun to drive, its build quality is outstanding and it provides a fantastic experience!

I could not beat Gary Paterson's 10:18.94X lap time, but I aimed for Sabine Schmitz's 10:23.78X lap time and beat it by 1.5 second!

Here is the proof of the achievement, you can watch it and learn how to do it (and a bit of what NOT to do).

I used a Logitech G27 with three pedals and H Shifter, Heel-And-Toe, TC off, ABS on.

The Pedals app doesn't show the clutch engagement during replays. Sorry for that.

The fourth generation (or Mk6) of the iconic Ford Transit introduced in 2000, was the third all-new design borrowing styling cues from Ford's "New Edge" designs, like the Focus and Ka.

Developed by Ford in the United States, the main innovation is that it is available in both front-wheel drive (V185), or rear-wheel drive (V184). This model features the "Puma" Duratorq turbo intercooled 2.4 16-valve inline 4-cylinder diesel engine with direct fuel injection also used in the 2000 Mondeo and Jaguar X-Type.

A demonstration of this model's speed was shown on Top Gear in 2005, where German race driver Sabine Schmitz attempted to drive it around the Nürburgring in under ten minutes, matching Jeremy Clarkson's time in a turbo-diesel Jaguar S-Type. She was unsuccessful, but only by a few seconds.

This version won the International Van of the Year 2001.
