Ford of Europe revealed a strong package of motorsport activities, including touring cars. Jost Capito, Director of Ford TeamRS, announced in Brussels that the new Ford Focus is the potential choice for an international touring car challenger to meet the needs of customer teams.
"Ford products have a long tradition in touring car racing, especially in Germany, where the abilities of great cars like the Capri, Sierra, Mondeo and more recently, the Focus, have been showcased," said Capito.
"We have been following the development of the FIA Super 2000 regulations with great interest. We see this highly cost-effective category spreading quickly, to the extent of a formula for a World Championship from next year onwards. Therefore Ford is developing a new Ford Focus touring car to meet the FIA Super 2000 regulations. This car would allow our existing and potential customer teams to compete in that category at the highest level, with an affordable budget and a competitive car. We plan to provide further details on this programme in the near future," Capito concluded.
