It looks like a 2006 WRC spec Ford Focus crash. But what a crash :D
Does anybody has more info about it?
To me it looks more like a 2003 or 2005 car. Or at least one done up to look like it... What was the point of what they did to it though??Quote:

You can tell by the body work it's an 06'. That's a pricey test!!Quote:

Thats definately an 06 car. Legitimate test I suppose I can think of quite a few jumps like that in the championship. Wales GB last year had a jump very similar to that on the Port Talbot/Margam Stage. Interesting video!
Wouldn't have fancied being the drive of that going over on the nose :s
It would be interesting to know who it was, where and when etc. but I cant imagine M-Sport really want to talk about tests like this.

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:

There are some pictures of the Ford Focus WRC 2006 which will be driven by Peter van Merksteijn sr. this year (Eifel Rallye, WRC Germany, and more). I got them from a dutch forum.
It's the EU55 BMY car:

One of the best looking rally cars IMO. Especially the front.Quote:

That's a great livery! Would really like to see that car in action. :up:
Al Qasimmi test with EU55 BNA
I don't think it has been mentioned on here but a few weeks ago Irish Tarmac wizard Eugene Donelly tested an 06 Ford Focus and was reportedly very impressed by it.
http://www.rallynews.net/News/News07...es11.07.07.htm
It would be great to see him in a Focus for next season. Talk about an unbeatable combination!
The latest news in Ireland is that Eamonn Boland has bought an Impreza S12 and is parking the Focus for the remainder of the year on account of the fact it is too old. It would appear that it will be put up for sale.
Nice... All the Ford manufactuer cars have again Finnish reg. plate. :( Even Garteth Jones have. In Germany we know what reg. plate they have. But we don't know from Munchi's ;(
Ramsport have normal registration plate.
