Halfway through the rally there was a few mechanical problems with one of the spark plugs/coils, or something like that, can't remember.  But I suppose they fixed that in the time allowed with the tools allowed.  But then, the Focus' water pump belt broke and it had to retire near the end of the rally.

Unfortunately there wasn't as much coverage of the new 2006 Focus as I had hoped for.  But the rally was very eventful nonetheless.  The top 4 or 5 cars all crashed or were eliminated due to mechanical failure.

I look forward to the new Rally year starting in January I believe, and the Focus' bugs worked out and winning races again.  Check out more details on www.wrc.com
