Driving The Mk1 Ford Focus WRC and RS: Two Rally and Road Legends | Henry Catchpole #TheDriversSeat

Colin McRae and Nicky Grist on the St Gwynno stage of Rally GB 2001 provided one of the most brilliant pieces of onboard driving footage ever. And in the latest Hagerty film Henry Catchpole gets an idea of what it’s like to drive a Mk1 Ford Focus WRC. We also dig into the history of that car's development (which includes a name now more associated with F1) and unearth its links to the Mk1 Ford Focus RS road car. We haven’t done things by halves either, taking the WRC car to a proper, narrow, bumpy tarmac rally test stage in mid-Wales to drive it hard. It’s a real test for this particular car, V10FMC which is currently owned by Girardo & Co. However, it’s a car that’s familiar with tricky asphalt as it took second place on the 2001 Monte Carlo rally with Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya onboard. The road car that we have lined up for this film is no less special either, as it is Ford Focus RS number 0001 - straight out of the Ford heritage fleet. The roads we chose to revisit with this RS were in North Wales and the reason for going there was one man - Richard Parry Jones. These were his local roads and if you’re not familiar with his name, well, he was the reason that family hatchbacks began driving much better around the turn of the millennium. Some say his inputs with the dynamics of the Mondeo and the Focus actually saved Ford in Europe. We hope you enjoy this latest, in-depth The Driver’s Seat film.

Full Build: From Rusted Out 1961 Chevy Impala to Revved Up Red Sled

We stumbled upon an old, rusting '61 Impala that had been neglected for years and decided to take on the massive project of transforming it into a stunning custom car we named "Red Sled." This journey was not for the faint-hearted as it included stripping down the entire vehicle, reinforcing the corroded frame, and giving it a modern air ride suspension. We dove deep into patching up the body with new floor pans, widened tubs, and countless hours of bodywork to ensure the Impala's transformation was spot-on. The shiny red paint job, custom faux chrome emblems, and a sleek new interior by M&M Hot Rod Interiors were the cherries on top. The heart of this beauty is a high-octane 409ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed transmission, making it hard to resist hitting the road. After such an extensive rebuild, the thrill of driving Red Sled was more than rewarding. The car, once left to waste away in a field, now turns heads and sparks envy, epitomizing a perfect blend of classic style and modern enhancements.
