Ford Jellymoulds Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Ford today won its second consecutive world title by securing the manufacturers' crown in the FIA World Rally Championship with the Focus RS World Rally Car 07. The BP-Ford World Rally Team finished Rally Ireland this afternoon with a 21-point lead to secure the prestigious title with one event remaining in the 16-round series. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/18112007/29/...itles-ford.html Rallying is the toughest form of Motorsport in the World Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnFan Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Does the Rally Focus share anything at all with the average Focus? I mean I know it's overhalled and stuff, but is it NASCAR bad (different vehicle all-together w/ a painted look-a-like grille)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Jellymoulds Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Does the Rally Focus share anything at all with the average Focus? I mean I know it's overhalled and stuff, but is it NASCAR bad (different vehicle all-together w/ a painted look-a-like grille)? Fords new awesome RS model will share a most of rally cars features which is more than can be said of shite ST model. I have been watching an ST in action this weekend in the Roger Albert Clark rally 1970's RS Escorts are making it look second rate rubbish http://www.tynecomp.co.uk/Results/rac_07/2/overall/24.html Fords awesome RS Escorts are also making the Porsche 911s and Ferrari powered Lancia Status look second rate rubbish in the historic rally as well, the rally started Friday ends today. Which could see Colin Mcraes dad Jimmy is in second place in his Escort RS win this main rally. http://www.tynecomp.co.uk/Results/rac_07/1/current.html Edited November 19, 2007 by Ford Jellymoulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he won't answer you I will, and of course they do, that's what rally cars are, just caged and modified stockers, it's pretty obvious if you just "look" at them..

Max Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 With the eventual conclusion to this year's WRC season, lest we not forget the tragic and untimely death of Colin McRae, just a few short months ago. McRae had some very successful outings whilst driving the focus, during his time with Ford. Colin McRae McRae's career in pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
