8 Ford Focus WRC (1999-2002)

There is perhaps no more evocative sight than a Martini-coloured, M-Sport-built, Ford Focus being driven by Colin McRae. The Scot had stepped away from his traditional home at Subaru and joined Malcolm Wilson’s team in his quest for a second World title. It brought him agonisingly close in 2001 when he lost out by two points following a crash in the final event, Wales Rally GB. Such was McRae’s affinity with the car that there was only one other driver who claimed wins in it, with Carlos Sainz taking a brace in 2000 and 2002.
