This is how I imagine the plate has been used;
Wales GB 06 - EU55 CNK (Same as Japan that year)
Monte 07 - EU55 CNN
Sweden 07 - EU55 CNN
Norway 07 - EU55 CNN
Portugal 07 - EU55 CNN
Argentina 07 - EU55 BMZ (Same as Mexico)
and then we know the last 2 rallies were EU55 CNK again.
Were Portugal and Monte Carlo a rally pairing?

If EU55 BMZ used the 1ES number plate in Argentina, then why was 1ES not used in Mexico?
PS! I got the confirmation that EU55 CNN was 1ES in Sweden and Norway from a Norwegian who worked close to the cars in Rally Norway and I trust his information is true. For other rallys I just guess the same car was used and now it seems this is not the case.
I mean BMZZZZ! ;)Quote:

My administration:
Monte Carlo EU55 CNN
Sweden EU55 CNN
Norway EU55 CNN
Mexico EU55 BMZ
Portugal EU55 CNK
Argentinia EU55 BMZ/EU55 CNN ?? I think the first
Sardinia EU55 CNK
Greece EU55 CNK
Also for all we know Ford could have registered a complete new car and run it under 1ES. I doubt this is the case but we dont really know much without seeking confirmation. I might try give m-sport an email I've been wanting to show them what I've done on excel for Focus WRC participation so this might be as good a time as any.
another question I put this in the Acropolis thread, but it will help here also.
Ford 60th win?
http://www.wrc.com/page/News/Breakin...032884,00.html
The win on Sunday was a special won for Ford, given that they have done so well on the Acropolis in the last eight years. It was also the 60th win for the Blue Oval at this level, something Wilson himself didn't know.
“I didn't realise it was the 60th, but it's a special moment. It's six times in eight years that we have won here and a pretty good record for us,” he added.

Or 59th win?

I go for 59th win, because Sweden 2006 was 50th. +9
