Legendary game on Playstation 1!

[@leoborn4013]

Yeah! It was the Monte Carlo 2000 color scheme.

[@lawrenceofarabia26]

The most beautiful Focus

[@soundseeker63]

The first focus, and the best looking one IMO. Amazing to think this shape has been with us over 20 years already! Reminds me of the McRae / Burns era of WRC. Sad they are both no longer with us.

[@Heymilyyy_]

Focus in Colin McRae 2005 ! 😍

[@NuriBass69]

I don't know why but I love the old Focus as a rally car. Always glad to see one still in action Nice video as always 👍🏼

[@hundkebab2433]

even outside of rally games i always pick the focus lol

2:45 It reminds me of Colin McRae's Ford Focus.

[@banetroo]

it is that

[@dspencer8827]

​@@banetrooit cant be .it hasnt been rolled🤔😃👍

[@d-d-i]

One of the greatest rallycars ever, and McRae truly did brilliant drives with this (and Sainz of course too). But it was cursed with semi-poor reliability back in the day.

[@El_Transportacoches_33]

the rally car of my childhood

[@mirkotasso]

One of my favourite rally car!

[@Frocobo]

Great stuff! I own both a Focus RS Mk1 and a Mk1 Capri with a paint job inspired by a 2001 Focus WRC. Loved this era of rallying.

[@GECKOZFTW]

You're making me jealous. A decent mk1 Focus RS is about £10k now.

[@ryanwalker199]

My Channel Lacks Originality I own one with 21k miles on it. Still in original condition owned it for 15 years

[@hundkebab2433]

you guys have any tips on getting one of these? finding a mint condition RS1 without mods is hard - hell I'd even take an import focus

[@dspencer8827]

😮😮😮nice

[@RandyCivilized]

At 3:02 was all that tracking done manually? If so that's some amazing camera work

[@19Bozzy92]

Yep. Both my friends/youtubers, with whom I usually collaborate, and I never use tripods if not for extra static shots (like the one at 4:17). We always hold cameras in our hands, but I can't hide the fact they have a great image stabilization

[@carson3658]

My first car was a 03 focus svt with crane racing stage 2 cam . Custom headers straight 2.5 exhaust. Tone of steeda parts/focusport they used to make Bolt ons for mustang's and focuses it also had a short throw shift with linkage it really felt like a rally car and was sooo fast for what it was .. i miss it so much it was alot funner than my 350z that I moved into

[@oofmansupreme8384]

dude nice. i've got an '03 SVT myself but i have diferrent plans for it. wanna swap in a twin-turbo Nissan V6 (a VQ i think?) and AWD swap it along with loads of weight reduction. should be fun.

[@bneyes1214]

The Ford Focus RS WRC of Colin McRae.

[@gregnowak3624]

Ryan Walker has owned one for over 15 years. Original condition they say. 21k they say. Gods truth.

[@bpford]

True classic this is, but it's clear the guys driving them only have money and are not that good of drivers

[@contrdt3]

Unfortunately car racing is rich boys sport:(

[@Elbowbanditest2003]

Well I didn't see any of them crash. Doubt you could do any better controlling a wrc car.

[@advance9343]

I still drive a 2001 ford focus

[@butterdawgg]

Is it good im getting one to make it a rally car

[@Enjoipandas13]

@@butterdawgg Ive immediately fell in love with mine. Nothing special zx3 with an exhaust and a few small touchups. Still an amazing car. It really is nothing special to a lot of people, but I think ford really outdid themselves with the multiple iterations of the zx3. Modern classic thats insanely slept on in the states.

[@cellphonelightsaber]

4:31 DELTA I suppose the Empress of Rallies wanted to see the new talent 😁

[@DavidCaudry]

I wonder why it's so difficult to make a good start

[@ArjanSchepers]

David Caudry race clutches are a b*tch to control properly haha

[@soundseeker63]

The clutch is pretty much open or closed. No in bwteen like a normal car.

[@notnice94]

Rally legend, but the one that was put on sale for the public is possibly one of the shittiest cars of its time.

[@weesky2000]

Colin McRae's Ford Focus

[@michaelcarter3149]

I have a 03 svt and I want to turbo it and make it awd more than anything! I live in the US so we never got the RS for that body style.

[@oofmansupreme8384]

nice mate. I've got an '03 SVT myself but I have different plans for it. wanna swap in a twin-turbo Nissan V6 (a VQ I think?) and AWD swap it along with loads of weight reduction. should be interesting to do.

[@michaelcarter3149]

@@oofmansupreme8384 That would be freaking sweet! Would definitely be a blast! If I has the money and space ideally I'd like to swap a 5.0 Coyote motor in it and turbo it lol. I know atleast one guy did that last year (video of it here on Utube). Unfortunately unless I got extremely lucky to find a totaled mustang cheap af, that ain't happening. I am curious what people use to make them awd?

[@oofmansupreme8384]

@@michaelcarter3149 I think there's some kind of parts kits you can find for it. I'm still researching it myself

[@DTFilmProductions]

Interesting to note this era of car reaching very high boost 3.9 bar helping achieve a lot of torque despite the 34mm restrictor. The 1.6 era cars 33m/36mm are only allowed to run 2.5 bar boost

[@lovesrebrenica]

Before fiesta it was mcrae's focus who ruled the world of rally

[@markokovandzic9914]

R.I.P Colin McRae

[@fezie404]

Those cars sound like the gates of hell have been opened and theirs that much stuff trying to ram its way back out through the gates that the door frame snaps in half. That's exactly what's happening here with the tail pipe and the forced explosions travaling through it. It's a very well tailered engine note.

[@mirkoghostdriver7082]

[@franh.a1466]

103 octanos, etanol

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Fist gear too long, too many gears for the top speed, gears too close together. This is why there are poor starts and too much shifting.

[@LittleliaExcision340]

Lemme buy this emergency bbs Julianna vehicle

[@alegiano]

La prima però non è wrc, è a trazione anteriore

[@19Bozzy92]

Dici perchè a 2:29 fa fumare la ruota anteriore? Occhio che ad inizio video la stessa identica macchina è alzata sui cavalletti con tutte e quattro le ruote in movimento... Per quel comportamento atipico in uscita curva, possibile avesse qualche problema al differenziale anteriore oppure è solo una caratteristica dell'auto quando non si dosa correttamente l'acceleratore fuori dalle curve strette. Mi pare questa versione di Focus avesse dei più veloci differenziali elettronici e non dei tradizionali meccanici, quindi facile che la guida sporca provochi una risposta del differenziale 'strana' alla vista (però son solo mie supposizioni, non sono un meccanico nè un ingegnere). Comunque qua puoi vedere tutta la storia rallystica di quell'esatto telaio: www.ewrc-results.com/carinfo/36-ford-focus-rs-wrc-99-02/?car=768&a=1#start

[@andreadaprato8524]

Ma queste riprese sono fatte in versilia .. giusto?

[@19Bozzy92]

La prima parte (e altre che si ripetono più avanti nel video) sì. L'evento era l'Italian Historic Cars 2018 al Lido di Camaiore

[@seviongreene4767]

Can you do one ford focus wrc the 2006 models

[@19Bozzy92]

Yep, I'll probably upload it in the future since I noticed I have already one on my channel but it's a 7-year-old video ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWWqq5qIppWjjdE

[@tylpar253]

Super! 👍👍

[@hundkebab2433]

even as a base non rally model, this focus friggin slaps hard built like a tank, can endure so much damage and replacement parts are cheap

Great job, well done ! Also love the sound of acceleration from On-Board, when you can hear all the transmission, gearbox etc.

[@ryanwalker199]

I’ve had mine for 15 years, still in original condition

[@D4rk5ho7]

Dou

[@oscarzt1652]

but there were 2 cars with the"s6 fmc" plate!

[@19Bozzy92]

As I said in the description it's just the same car. To be picky 's6 fmc' appears in this video with 4 different liveries (3 white ones and a Martini one) and 7 different numbers (which is the total number of events I've seen it at). The clips where it's mainly white were taken in 2013 and early 2014. But by the end of 2014, for the RallyLegend of that year, it was wrapped with a 2001 inspired livery which was still on it last year
