Whose Focus is that?!?
a Focus show-car! :)
And clearly one that Ford Australia have had sitting in a warehouse gathering dust for some time given the livery.
Bit unprofessional on their behalf to not at least rebrand it, let alone make it the right model....
Hello from Australia ;-) I have been enjoying these forums for some time, and thought people may be interested in this link. Support the World Rally Championship (WRC) in New South Wales Australia | Facebook
I have contacted the organisers to seek permission to put together a rally guide for spectators, and will be publishing it online for rally fans to enjoy. So far I can say the event is a huge improvement on the Repco Rally held in 2009. 500km off the transport to start with, and the addition of enthusiasts locations for spectating. A great variety of roads used, and much more spectator friendly. I will check back once I have the okay to share some photos and information.
That would be appreciated!! Even if you have the maps of the stages at this stage would be awesome. Are you doing a recce of the spectator points? Pretty sure we met in NZ last year btw :)
Maps will come, just not at this time. Yes, photographing spectator points and recommending the best options to enjoy the action. Similar to the guide I prepared in 2009 WRC - Repco Rally Australia - Spectator Information - Brindabella Motor Sport Club - Australian Rallying Forums But much more detail this time round, with everything you would want to know before selecting which site to view from. Just waiting on the work to begin on site, clearing and dumping of fill in the low areas. Some of the enthusiasts locations are the same locations I shot from during the Australian Rally Championships, so they are well selected.
Well we will meet again in 2012?, already looked at flights ;_) Still haven't shared any of the video from the GoPro camera, too many hard drives full of material and little time..
I have filmed some stages in 3D using the GoPro cameras, so once everything is approved I will upload a preview of the areas. Planning a helicopter flight over soon, beautiful area to host a rally. Some sections reminded me of NZ, and the roads are in top condition.
Nice stuff. I mention of http://www.motorsportforums.com , http://www.rallyforum.com or our facebook group at Motorsport Forums | Facebook would be appricated!Quote:

Sounds good! Will like the page shortly!
Also, FWRT never used that shape Focus for example, wrong head lamps on the version pictured above! The team used stickers to shape the old focus to look like the new head lamps!
Could that be a sign Atko might drive a Fiesta? The only thing stopping Atkinson to compete is the Australian Manufacturers support from either MINI or Ford Aus... But I know MINI are very keen to come to Aus and bring a car! Would be great to see rather then waiting till 2013 for MINI to compete in Rally Aus as it's out in 12' :)
Good news everybody! MINI will be present during Rally Australia with the BrazilWRT :)
