Car Ford Focus WRC 05 ? only 03 and 04 Focus
-
Regarding 05 Focus' I thought 04 Focus' had a technical upgrade which then officially (or unofficially) became the 05 focus?
Im probably wrong .....

Tommy Andersson bought his 3rd WRC Focus during 2006. But it has not yet done a rally in Sweden so I dont know for sure what car it is. Just a guess that it could be S15FMC?

I got some interesting info directly from my source at M-sport. Believe it or not your choice, but usually my info is correct:
M-sport will not be selling any 2006 spec Focus WRC cars this year. The 2006 cars used by privateers like Gareth MacHale are rented out only to trusted partners for events and tests under strict supervision by M-sport staff and will be returned to M-sport after every event.
The reason for this is the secret suspension system that M-sport wants to keep a secret.
Also there are new cars built for Grönholm and Hirvonen for Monte, Stobart will us last years works cars.

I heard something about that a while ago and that it will be 2008 before they will sell them. I think the only person they might have considered selling to is Eugene Donnellybut maybe not even him. Thats why Gareth is able to run in Galway because he is getting M-Sport backing.

Wow 2008! That's a very long wait to see some privateer Focus 06's!

Here is something interesting I found looking through the photos.
It seems that Ford mechanics have mixed up the front pumpers on Mikko and Marcus cars at some point in day 3. Atleast the reg-plates are swiched you can clearly see it on the photos:

Thank god the police did not stop them and fined them for driving with wrong reg-number on front of the car!
