I dont think the last two are WRC, they look to be some type of touring car (check out the signage on the door, xxCC).

Still, looks nice, but not so sure about the rear wing.

the last 2 look like touring car championship spec cars, looks like 18" mags and sits too low.

The other 2 cars are from the F.I.A. World Touring Car Championship run by a team by the name of Team Hotfiel Sport. I don't have a web address but I have found previous photos on the W.T.C.C. website: www.fiawtcc.com

There's a photo of the Hotfiel Focus in AutoAction that is doing some serious cornering. It seems as though it is set up fairly soft. I'll bring it on the Sydney Cruise with me.

Post Script to the new Focus WRC Car. *It's quoted that M-Sport might bring on the debut early i.e. the Rally Australia WRC later in the year. There's a new transmission made by FFD-Ricardo and it is said that they have a test rig that is capable of measuring 1000nm on it although it doesn't mention what torque rating the new WRC car is rated at. That is serious torque!!
