<p>Ford Europe officially unveiled the all-new Focus RS WRC competition version today at the Bologna Motor Show. The<br />
car is being displayed in the official team colors that will be used for the car?s competition debut at the Monte Carlo<br />
Rally in January.</p>
<p>The WRC car is a competition version of the new Ford Focus ST. The car was designed and built in less than 12 months,<br />
under the guidance of TeamRS Technical Director Christian Loriaux (pictured above alongside his pride and joy).</p>
<p>WRC is Ford Europe?s primary motorsports activity, and represents the beginning of a four-year commitment to the WRC,<br />
which is introducing a new cost-cutting rules package for the 2006 season. With drivers Marcus Gronholm and Mikko<br />
Hirvonen, the BP-Ford team is hopeful of logging rally wins in 2006, and possibly a championship as soon as 2007.</p>
