Ford announces Touring Car motorsport program for new Focus
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/08/f...for-new-focus/
Ford is using the upcoming Focus ST as the basis for an adaptable touring car program, working with teams that will be campaigning it in series around the world. First up will be the British Touring Car Championship, with further forays planned to follow in the China Touring Car Championship and the Nürburgring 24-hour race. Although development will be carried out largely by the participating teams, they'll have access to Ford technology and expertise, while Ford inversely plans to use the program to benefit the development of the Focus production car.

Ford Focus Race Car Concept goes global

Power, predictably, will come from a tuned version of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that we'll see in the upcoming Focus ST. You'll find AST performance coil-over adjustable dampers at each corner holding up anthracite 18-inch wheels and Hoosier race tires. Other suspension bits include sway bars from Ford Racing with adjustable end links and front brakes with 320-millimeter two-piece rotors and race pads.
Inside, a full FIA-certified roll cage is included, along with Recaro seats with six-point racing harnesses and a full electronics package for keeping track of essential data. Interestingly, Ford says it teamed up with a number of professional private racing teams to develop its Focus Race package, which means it should be highly adaptable to multiple series and formats.
