Welcome to the pleasure dome "soperfan"

Ive a gut feeling that Arena have been in talks with Tom Onslow-Cole.
If not him then they will try and get Thompson to at least test the car.

i like the look of that .......have to wait & see what Tom can do in it !!!

It looks nice ,
But there needs to be some orange as my entire archery equipment is orange because tom was with halfords and that orange . :P

[gruk]

and it needs some orange on it cos thats the ST colour and that definately has the ST bumpers on it , also is this the one thats running a Volvo engine? or have i heard that about some other team.

Being the Focus ST, I'd assume they are using the 2.5 engine sleeved down.
If it sounds as good as the Volvo C30 WTCC car it will be a return to the sound of the Super Tourers, a much better engine note in my view.
Next Monday won't come quick enough for me.
I've seen enough of orange in the past few years, livery is looking good so far, here's hoping for a nice bold sponsors logo to add to it now.

So good to see a ford finally back on a touring car grid in the uk!!!

Lets hope james thompson is the 2nd driver. then Ford will show thoose vauxhall's a thing or two like they did in 2000!!!

the colour scheme is very similar to the press released version of the team RS focus tourer of 2005 before it was ran in the wtcc. Hopefully this ford will be better than its wtcc counterpart, but with the experince that arena have i sure it will be a front runner in no time, just a shame its not a mondeo!

blue and white - true ford colours!! i really hope this is similar to the final livery. i'm really happy to see it on track, all we need now is a quality team-mate as well. i've never been a huge chilton fan but i may have to make exception now i've seen that focus!!

[BTCCROCKS]

The car is looking good so far. Should be great when the new season starts

[kenkp86]

by far the best looking car on the grid so far, hope its as quick as it looks. wonder who the main sponsor is though

[Jonathan McLeod]

Mr Chilton Snr

[teenymac]

I like it!!!!

Can't wait to take my own piccies of the Focus at Brands Hatch in April, and maybe even sooner than then...!

[CroftPilgrim]

The photos are back in the fans section.

Great to see it out and to see a car on the grid we've not had before. If any body doubts its chances just because it's not a works entry, just remember Team Dynamics in 2005 and 2006.....
