Ford M-Sport 2002

M-Sport was providing the team of Erwin Weber with a Ford Focus RS 01 and the driver was going to be the 2001 European Champion Armin Kremer.

We Started in the 2002 Monte Carlo Rally and we had a good relation with the M-Sport mechanics ( i also had a few friends working there that moved from Ford Motorsport to M-Sport in 1997 ).

Armin Kremer was going to drive 7 WRC events.

He had a good finish in Monte Carlo and Cataluna, but we retired in Finland ( Clutch ), Greece ( accident ) and retired in the Deutschland Rally with a very big Crash ( see gallery ),
Armin hit a guard rail at 160 km/h and the car also got fire, he and his co-pilot were lucky to escape with no injury's.

The Final rally was the RAC Rally 2002 with the new Ford Focus RS 02.

When the season was over i decided to take a rest in 2003 and do no more rally's. i went to some Circuit races with Alfa Romeo.
