The wind noise is a pain though. If I get time I usually put one in the car as well and then edit it to switch between the two when the wind gets to much.
Great to see this car being used again - nothing worse than a once legendary car being left in some dusty corner forgotten. She needs to be out, getting seen, being used and enjoyed and hats off to you lads making this happen - She is still a legendary car 20 years on ! The ultimate incarnation of the 1.5 Focus - has she the inlet air accumulator in behind the back bumper still ? I swear the US Focus has a better looking bumper 😅
@slipgripautomotive5929 nah 100% was that gen focus , he was only 18 or 19 or so if I remember correctly . Had a couple of offs that rally but had a rally ender down the road from my house in it . Was long before rally 2 was a thing
Putting the camera on top of the car was a masterstroke

Seeing cars like this make running the venue worth while. We even ha da ride in it :)
A beautiful car and video, thank you.
Thanks very much :)
Had no idea the roof scoops flexed so much on these!
As light as possible ;)
@@slipgripautomotive5929 I suspect as it flexes it amplifies the ram air effect as well
A fantastic video and vehicle and one of ours. We still have lots of spares for this should the owner be interested?
So pleased to still see it in use
What's the roof scoop made from an old margarine tub
Something as light as possible so quite possibly ;)
Do you guys have a separate class for ex-WRC cars or how does it work over there? Greetings from Finland.
Hi mate,
For our sprint events they run in the over 2000cc forced induction class. Some rally championships don;t allow ex-wrc and some do.
Was this the car he had a huge crash in on the Isle of man ?
That was in his Rally2 Fiesta rather than the focus

Was a ramsport car
Ahh sorry I thought you meant 2023
Damn... I want to be a landowner.
Would be hard pushed to get permission for a stage like this these days sadly, which is why Bont Rally Stage is such a gem :)
Think my mate built the shell at m sport
no onboard 😢
When the car is next testing will do a better one
That's a lot of tires.
