The Man that Never Blinks.

I've never seen a person look so scared, yet look so relaxed while driving than marcus. Good news for ford definitely. Now they just have to field a car that markus can win with.

I'm sure the new car will be competitive - both Citroen and Peugeot are out next year. Ford's only competition should come from Subaru and Mitsubishi ....... that being said Citroen will be fielding a private team ( heavily funded ) led by Loeb. Next year should be interesting. I'm looking forward to the last rally and seeing the new Focus in action - has anyone got some pics of the new car ?

Cool cool, love the new WRC Focus, not to mention the badging on it.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
