For the 1999 World Rally Championship season, Ford switched cars, trading in its legendary Escort for the new model in its lineup, the Focus. At the same time, the factory team signed 1995 world champion Colin McRae. For the Scot, this was a major change after many years with Subaru. But this first year of collaboration between Colin and M-Sport/Ford was marked by numerous retirements. Despite two victories at the Safari and in Portugal, Colin McRae endured a run of bad luck with eight consecutive retirements in the second half of the season. Even at Sanremo, where crowds turned out in droves to admire the impressive runs of “Colin McCrash,” engine trouble hampered McRae’s performance. He set a few fastest times before veering off the road and retiring. Despite his poor results, the McRae/Ford Focus WRC ’99 duo became iconic!! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
