Ford dominates WRC racing, at least in quantity.

That's a lot of Fiestas, spread through pretty much every class imaginable. In total, 42 cars wearing the blue oval will tackle the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! gravel roads of Portugal.

Wow that's quite a presence! I wonder who the next closest manufacturer is.

Citroen. 3 WRC Cars (Meeke, Östberg and some pay driver) plus an armada of 13 WRC3 DS3s.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought of was a WRC Fiesta gang running rampant through a city?

YOU'D NEVER CAPTURE THEM!

That would be awesome! I imagine a massive car chase like in the end of 2 fast 2 furious where the Fiestas break out of a warehouse and totally confuse the cops.

That is the kind of Fiesta that I want. AWD and fast.

Well, you could drive an R5 on the streets for the price of an 458. Kinda drive it on the street.

In fairness you could drive any of them on the street :D

True, but an R5 rally car for the price of an 458/Gallardo/MP4-12C seems like a really good deal to me. And I am sure it would be much more fun.

Very true. I definitely think if I had to pick between an R5 or a Gallardo I'd take the Fiesta

No question for me, at least if I had another reasonably comfortable car in the stable.

Although I probably first would check the market for a Citroen Xsara WRC before ordering an R5, purely based on the looks of it:

I could see that, but I'd definitely go for a hatch rally car, because at least then I can pretend it has an element of practicality to it ;)

I do like the last generation of the WRC Focus.

The Xsara is a hatch too actually, but if you want "practicality" there can only be the C4 - I bet one could haul a lot of groceries in it, just look at that hatch!
