Recalling that they did extensive tests on wind tunnel and came to conclusion that the car didn't need big wing, and that the big wing would've added too much drag into this bodyshape. Yet, they did add one in the big update version in 2003, so I guess they were wrong originally.
@d-d-i The 2003 car has totally different front and side aero as well, which would affect it. However that car was a dog and never as competitive as the 01-03 car.
I don't think that the 03-05 focus was not competitive. I was in Sanremo 03 and that car was super fast on tarmac ,maybe more than 206 and xsara. The problem of 03-05 was a lack of a driver as Sainz as second instead of Duval or Kresta.
@@Sim_RealRally Sure but even still Ford never got it right again with the 2000cc regulations. The 06 and newer Focus was too big and only used a 5 speed sequential. A certain Frenchman made this era very frustrating
One of the best driver
One of the best era in Rallye
And for me the ultimate Rallye Event - gravel - fast roads - pure excitement
I feel very fortunate to meet Colin , Alister and Jimmy back in 99 at the Network Q
Me me me me me me
Amazing looking car as were the others around that era in the WRC....❤❤❤
Honestly, every wrc era had some amazing cars.
Thanks for this, Merry Christmas
Colin McRae Rally 2.0 looking nicer than what I remember !
A master of his craft at the peak of his powers - thank you for sharing!
Grande Colin il numero uno..la leggenda..
Fearless legend!
Brilliant video, quality is so good aswell
Damn he is driving the absolute wheels off the thing. I have never seen the brakes of the car glowing on gravel rallies before!

I’m still playing the game on my retro handheld…😊
One of the best looking cars of the era. Amazing they made do without the rear wing. Honestly did better without it.

Santa Claus in advance ! Thanks a lot ❤️
around the 05:00 mark, why are they taping the centre of the wheels ? To prevent mud and debris from clogging ?
Yes. Mud cover
He did such a fine drive on this rally. Until that accident. Should have been an easy win for him.
