yep i have seen francos website too and he says he can teach you to drive like him,that must be a good idea seeing as he was italian rally champion in a escort cosworth martini.

theres a member on here and escortrscosworth.com who worked on Franco's escort cosworth wrc's at malcolm wilsons m-sport.

i know the tamoil sierra that franco drove was a ford motorsport boreham Q8 team car the year before. have you seen the video's on francos website ????
they are very good !!

yes, that really can be a good idea!!

....the m-sport..... great factory! in 2003 i've worked in ''ERG EUROMOTOR'' EX ITALIAN PROMOTORSPORT located in Udine , i was an external mechanic called when the team has 4 car in races (they had 2 FOCUS WRC and 2 subaru impreza grN prodrive) , i was assigned to the FOCUS WRC (number plate FMC-P10) drived in that year by ''Pucci'' Grossi in italian rally championship, i have a great memory of that time.....i remember that the 2 focus were sended in united kingdom to the M-Sport for the rebuilds every time after 1200 km of special stages, and every rally in assistence park with us there was an electronic engineer from M-Sport for check the state and the telemetry after every special stage of the 2 focus wrc
for me was a great experience work on focus wrc....

yes 've raced in Pedavena-Passo Croce d'Aune (valid for european hillclim championship)
in 2008 and 2009 with the green escort gpN
in 2008 i've winned the class E3 N 3000+ and the E3 group N , in 2009 i've damaged the car....

in the years before i've raced in Pedavena with the grey 2wd sierra cosworth...
for who don't knows the italian E3 grouping is where runs the FIA out of homologation cars before to become historic cars
