    Andreas Bakkerud's team just built an RX 'Ford Puma' for the Norwegian Championship, with no connection to Ford or MSport. This is a converted road car shell but I guess the same principle applies... just pick a car you like and fit its panels to the spaceframe, no need to have it endorsed by its manufacturer ?

    But this car is competing only on closed circuit. It never goes on normal roads.

    The FIA intends for the next set of World Rally Championship regulations to become the backbone of championships all over the world, not just the WRC....

    If I take a Ford Focus, gut it to a bare shell and fit a different drive line, suspension and change some cosmetic body panels is it still a Ford Focus?

    Assuming you kept the VIN plate; yes.
