Ford Focus Touring Car
Ford is developing a new Touring race car based on the new Focus which will be used for global touring races around the world from 2011.
They announced this plan at the SEMA show, and confirmed the beginning of 2011 British Touring Car Championship as the debut race for this car. It’s also qualified for WTCC and other series. Ford and its partners are developing the Focus Touring with common technical specifications for the race car, which will conform to FIA Super 2000 regulations.
“There has been tremendous interest from the racing world about the new Focus, and it’s the perfect fit for a global touring car,” said Jost Capito, director of Global Performance Vehicles and Motorsports Business Development. “Even more, by working with professional private race teams, we’re ensuring Focus has the support it needs to compete and win.”
