That means JM Engineering has only one Focus WRC left the V474 ONO re-registered as 1Z3 9500 that was also in action this weekend in Lithuania with Girdauskas.
Are JM Engineering planning to buy new shape Fords or are they closing down the WRC renting busines, because the website has also been out of date for 2 years now?
Given the article on Wilkes and Mikkelsen a few weeks back on wrc.com I believe that Andreas will be using EG 53 CCN in Norway...
The wrc.com article said that Mikkelsen will use the same car he used in Wales and had a very short life as a works car with Markko Märtin. But these are 2 different cars the S568 RHH(former 1ES) Mikkelsen used in Wales is not the same as the EG53 CCN that Markko destroyd in Argentina 2004.
I guess it is still a mystery what car Andreas will use.
Are you sure that they sold X5FMC and EJ02KMV to Errepi/Italy?Quote:

Is there a website for Munchi's Ford team?
Mobil Ramsport Focus 04 ET53URO for Wilks in Rally Norway 2007:

According to the re-newed entry list we have not a Focus for #70 Bernhard Kongsrud and Pål Christian Iversen. But crew #93 Einar Staff and Kim Staff drives a Focus.
Do anybody know which Focus they drive?
http://www.rallynorway.com/en/compet...ed_docs07.html
What I know is that JM never owned any Focus. The cars belonged to Felix Re and Balazs Benik, JM worked just like service organisation and rental provider. At this moment there should be no WRC car in JM garage, just a few Suzukis S1600.Quote:

Jaanus. Your information about Einar Staff is wrong. You say the crew drive with reg RJ 42247 In this picture I see another plate. http://www.team-itweb.no/images/arkiv/20070216/0071.jpg
Do you realy know Staff is driving EX02 OBB?
Thanks FocusChampion. The car on the photo is 2001 spec RZ 28256. Original reg-plate V2 FMC. Thanks for the info and sorry for the mistake. I had old info and had no time to deal with the website yesterday and find photos, I will correct it soon.

Also does anyone know which Focus is this 2001 spec that came for sale this week:

Might be a car from Ireland with the name Norman Burns?
If it's from Ireland it could be EJ02 KMO, because the last owner Hugh Martin Doherty now has a new car. Just speculating...
hmmm possibly! Shame there's no pictures, annoying when they advertise a WRC Car and they don't have any photos.
Quite a funny story, for a while I thought Bernhard Kongsrud was renting RJ42247 for Rally Norway, then a few weeks prior to the event Bernhard bought Trond Sveinsvolls V2 FMC without even seeing the car first.Quote:

Moral: dont buy a car without a test drive.....
Thanks for the story Jr. :up:
I am sure they can adjust the seat for Bernhard and he can use the car in the future :)
Jonas Kruse did Rally Vännäs - 1st round of Swedish Rallycar Championship - this weekend in 'WOB 099' (S11 FMC) rented from Tommy Andersson. Unfortunately he retired with a broken rear axle on SS6, but he plans to do the whole series 2007 in the car.

2. Errepi s P10 FFC re reg back in S6FMC
3. Errepi s 1P5 1555 re reg back in EJ02 KMX
Mikkelsen will be using one of his 2005 spec cars this weekend on the Malcolm Wilson Rally, not a 2006 Focus rumoured on another forum.
Im unsure at the moment which one it'll be though :P
S10 FMC re registrated to H3 NDY!

Once again some inside info for you guys: EX02 OBD is sold to Eddie Hörbing.
One Focus less in Finland. Rumour in finnish site ralli.net, says that Jarmo Mikkonen has sold his Focus `02 to Sweden.
And good news is that Ari Vihavainen will be back in action in Peurunka-ralli after 14 month break.
Woops, Jaanus was faster
New 06 Focus for Grönholm in Mexico as expected, reg. no. EO56 TZR. Haven't seen Hirvonen's car yet, it should be a new one too.
EJ56 FXA is new car for Hirvonen.Quote:

EG53 CCN for Mikkelsen - the same car he rolled on the Malcolm Wilson. It was scheduled to go into M-Sport for a rebuild even before the crash apparently.
Any Info about K Lynch s KI4NCH?
Hungarian Balazs Benik bought EJ02 KMV from Errepi Competion! The car will be serviced by BRTH.

And the most important for Benik: after so much years of nothing, Ford Hungary supports him officially! :)
Gergely Szabo sold his Focus WRC (X6 FMC) to Switzerland.
S 7 FMC - a 99 spec Focus was used in Ireland by Seamus Heron over the weekend...
