Exactly.Ford's problem was always keeping up the development.Escort RS Cosworth was the fastest car in 93 and in 95 it was nowhere.99-2000 Focus was a match for everything but in 2002 Peugeot steamrolled them.03 Focus was again the fastest but in 05 they were behind Citroen and Subaru.06 Focus was a class of its own and by 09 C4 was miles ahead.Lastly 11 Fiesta obliterated the DS3 in Sweden but that advantage didn't even last a year.Its absolutely crucial that they keep themselves as close as possible(or ahead) witj the other teams as the season (and years ahead) progress.
