Just had a look at the final entry list for the Dutton rally, someone has entered a new XR5 Focus.
It'll be interesting to see how it goes against the other turbo cars..  :

I haven't checked where it finished in the results but you can imagine not a lot of time getting this baby ready for the event.
The colour was orange but I'm sure there's a fancy name for that. Looked good, had plenty grip at the figure eight and witch's hats but wasn't hooking it round them with the handbrake like the suby and evo guys......

I've done a Google to see if I can get any info on how the XR5 went. Unfortunately the search came up with NOTHING.
I'd be grateful for any info.

I did see it a couple of times & it was kicking some ***. I dont know were it finished up, but Im sure it will supprise a lot of people. What I did see of it the two girls driving it were going well. Wait till the dutton site has all the placing posted & we'll know..

Results are up http://www.duttonrally.com/results_nsw_06.htm
Downloads a 2.5meg zip file, check the last 2 or three files for the overall standings. Not shabby, beat a Golf GTi, got beaten by another, took a few big scalps, however not all drivers are equal. Correction - 5th in class out of 13 in the Handicap Driver - Class 44th out of 86 in Handicap Driver overall 43rd out of 72 outright. Not bad given some of the cars it beat, but again, there's probably a fair spread of driver talent/experience.

Yep - and the talent/experience was apparently two women?

Exactly. Only a matter of time before someone tried the women drive joke. Proves the appeal of the car personally!! Good for them.
