It’s Ford time

Lewis Booth, Executive Vice Chairman for Ford of Europe and Premier Automotive Group, said: The man who so convincingly kept the BP-Ford team at the top of the leader board throughout the year is Marcus Gr nholm. We couldn t have won two in a row without Marcus and Timo delivering results so consistently. We re really fortunate to have had them both on the team, and we re proud of what they have achieved for Ford.

Marcus and Timo have been one of the sport s most successful pairings of all time - in fact their 30 victories have earned Marcus second place on the list for all-time rally wins. Such is Marcus standing in the sport that we did not want to lose him entirely from our team. We are asking Marcus to take an ambassadorial role for Ford of Europe next year.
