M-Sport History | Colin McRae's Safari-winning Focus 

Fantastic content, you can just tell that’s the gaffers baby. It’s such a shame Colin never got the Ford world championship. Fond memories of that time and can’t believe we can’t get more manufactures back in the top class. Imagine F1 with 3 teams? WRC deserves better. 👍🏻

Malcolm, I've watched you in your Escort, Audi , 6R4, Sierra and Astra days. Now look what you've achieved with M Sport, even branching into the Touring cars, . I personally don't get the recognition you deserve,. Well from me, cheers mate, your doing a cracking job 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I had a poster of this car in my room since my childhood. The Mk.1 Focus for me is not just a revolutionary, weird and striking "new-millenium" vehicle. In my opinion, it's easily one of the most beautiful cars ever made and it's definitely one of my all time faves.

Colin was one of my all time favourite drivers, fond memories from those days. Thanks Malcolm and M-Sport for your contribution, still follow your cars.

Thanks M-Sport and Malcolm Wilson for exposing this Ford Focus on this year's WRC events, it's a privilege to see it alive.

What an era...I was 13 now I am 37 years old, everything was completely different and romantic, even the sun and the dust 😂, truly very lucky to live those days.

I was among the spectators when Collin arrived at the service park in Kajiado with a crumpled front left end and the mechs stripped down the car and rebuild it in a jiffy. Malcolm was there. The clap from the spectators as Collin roared off thereafter was glorious. I wonder if this car is available in scale.

easily the most beautiful rally car ever made

Saffy aged like fine wine!

Fantastic car the best driver and the golden era of wrc so many legendary cars and drivers had the pleasure and honour of getting up close and personal with the car last month at the tour of dovanby hall tour was amazing and really in depth be great if the car could be at the McRae rally challenge next month if Malcom let’s it out his sight in fact he should be driving it round knockhill haha

I wish Collin was still with us today. I think he would have made the transition from the driver. To an owner like Malcolm.

Nice one M - SPORT I enjoyed that

Amazing video!!!

Stephen Finlay won the Killarney rally of the lakes in 2000 in that very car.

Legend

Champion
