It's just a matter of waiting for Germany for the works cars and then a bit of guess work I suppose or someone asking. I was under the impression it only need be the Finnish drivers who had this type of plate on their car but Ford has put them on all cars in the past which is a bit annoying. We'll wait and see...
If anyone can find a larger resolution picture of the Abu Dhabi launch it might reveal a new 07 car plate. I can't quite make it out from the pictures on crash:
*EDIT car looks to be EU55 CNV

The good news is there will be another 07 Focus on a few events this season (Finland, Germany, Spain and Ireland).
WRC 06 for Finland and Germany. Both other rallies too(?)Quote:

New livery for Finland looks aweful with that new name on!!!!!!
Ford liveries have been a bit gash for years IMO but it will definately take a few months to get used to the new changes. If it means a better Ford WRT then thats fine by me. And another Focus when I go to Ireland etc...
Are you going to change your signature Ste at the end of the year?
Malcolm brings the title home to Abu Dhabi!
Havent seen it mentioned on here but Andreas Mikkelsen will be taking delivery of 3 Focus WRC 06's to replace his current trio of 04/05 cars according to Motorsport News.
I hope he brings one of them to the UK before WRGB!
Looking at the crop of drivers who are running these cars in the WRC and other events I'd say Andreas more then deserves to be in one. He's got the ability.
They don't do things by half either do they in his team. They must like buying in bulk...
Yeah, at a guess I would imagine they operate like a WRC team by having one at a rally, one being rebuilt and one for testing/on its way to the next rally .. each car alternating under those banners i'd imagine.
I also imagine we'll see Guy Wilks in one at some point as well :) :up:
Yes I definately willQuote:
