Are you sure it are Mondeo's? German team Hotfiel Sport entered Ford Focus' in WTCC 2005. Also RS-Line entered some races. Before and after both teams were racing in German touring car championship with these cars.

Well... Ford said they would change to sedan, but they talked about Focus sedan. I found this from TCT archives: http://www.touringcartimes.com/news.php?id=145
There was a longer story somewhere with Ford people commenting different body shapes, but I can't find it. However, soon after those comments, Ford decided to withdraw as a factory team. Maybe they where testing a Mondeo too, but I have never seen anything official about it... |

thats interesting reading
with two cars built at well over 100k each looks like ford where keeping all there options open on which car to use then they must have found the budget taken away without much warning

This is very interesting! It's a shame this car never made it onto the racetrack?

Was about to post that I'd found where the pictures had come from but then the pages disappeared. Looks as if the ads had been pulled for whatever reason.
Google cache helps: http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=5&gl=uk http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:1...lnk&cd=3&gl=uk There was a second ad on the motorsportmarkt website but I can't get that one now. Looks like they were built for VLN series rather than ETCC/WTCC. There's a number of S2000-alike cars in that series - Alfa 147, BMW 1-series |
