A Focus flipped at the last autocross I attended. Same deal, stock (worn) suspension and R-tires. Flipped at the end of a slalom section.

if that is the one i'm thinking of, he was a novice who had Rs on the front and street tires on the back.

If you can supply picture of the 318ti rollover I would be very grateful (want to fun ends on a friend who has one)
I'd rather not see that.

Hell, I just learned that there was a guy here in the ATL region who flipped his r-comp'ed stock-class Mini "S" onto and over its' nose after getting crossed up in a slalom (whiskey tango foxtrot!). So, yeah I gander there's a bit of potential danger there, especially if he's a novice driver.
That said, I'm certainly not qualified to give advice on the subject. I think there's already been some good advice in the thread about not "approving" the car, but instead "allowing at-your-own-risk". Even then, I'd at least ban r-comps on the thing.
