Involvement in the World Rally Championship is Ford of Europe's primary motor sport activity. Consecutive winners of the coveted Manufacturers' World Championship title in 2006 and 2007 with the Ford Focus RS WRC 07, the BP Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team has a new driver line up for 2008, pairing the young Finns Mikko Hirvonen (with co-driver Jarmo Lehtinen) and Jari-Matti Latvala (with co-driver Miikka Anttila). The point-scoring Finns are joined this year by Khalid Al Qassimi from Abu Dhabi, (with co-driver Michael Orr). For 2008 the challenge for the team is to deliver the third-in-a-row of championship wins. For more information on how the team is getting on, please visit www.wrcford.com|
