Ford Racing’s Focus ST-R debuts today at the Grand-Am 200 in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge ST class as part of the Grand-Am weekend at Daytona.
Don’t be fooled by its close resemblance to the production Focus ST, which is intentional. The ST-R is Ford Racing’s purpose-built, fully prepared competition car. It features a powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, FIA-regulation roll cage, uprated brakes and track-tuned suspension.
The all-new Focus ST-R has been crafted by engineers at Ford Racing in the U.S. – with technical support from Ford’s Global Performance Vehicles Group – to allow it to compete in a variety of series, including Grand-Am ST, World Challenge TC and the Canadian Touring Car Series. Ford also hopes teams will race the car in key European motorsports series and major national events such as the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
