Ford Focus WRC "Rally

Catalunya 2002"

by Javier Alba

 

 

During the second session of the Catalunya Rally (Spain), on March 23rd 2002, the Ford Focus driven by Carlos Sainz suffers an accident.

When the car is finishing to turn a curve at sixth speed, finds in front several cars parked on the side of the way. To avoid a frontal crash he activates the manual brake, the car makes a spinning and impacts to a rock, losing a wheel, breaking a half-shaft and a suspension arm. In spite of his attempt to continue, at 250 meters the race comes to its end for Carlos Sainz.

Las fotos han sido tomadas en el intervalo de tiempo en que el coche permaneció aparcado en la cuneta, antes de que lo retirara una grúa, y he intentado sacar aquellos detalles que puedan ser útiles para aquellos aficionados que se planteen hacer el coche a 1/24 sobre base Tamiya, y con las calcas de la decoración del 2002,que va a sacar al mercado Studio-27.
