The Ford Focus is the most reliable car ever. They finished the last 50+ rallys within the points. The new car will compete in the rally of Australia this year to get some competition kilometers, so the new-car-troubles will be gone by the first rally of the new season. I.M.O the reliability will not be such an issue.

Peugeot and Citroen will quit rallying at the end of this season, but at the end of this month Citroen will announce if they will return in 2007 or not. If Citroen returns in 2007, the french ORECA team will service a couple of Xsara WRCs in 2006 with a lot of factory support. Peugeot will return to Le Mans with a diesel powered car and will not return to rallying.
