While we're all still reeling from our recent adventure at CES and the Detroit Auto Show, we've realized we completely missed the Autosport International Racing Car show in Birmingham England. It was at this show where Ford officially pulled the wraps off of the new livery for the 2012 Fiesta RS World Rally Car you see above.
Castrol Edge remains a sponsor of the car which features a 1.6-liter EcoBoost inspired engine. Drivers are Jari-Matti Latvala, Miikka Anttila, Petter Solberg and Chris Patterson.

Looks good with more blue and green and less white. And though Loren has trouble accepting it, Latvala and Anttila have been named the #1 Ford car.
I was going to correct the article on the point that Anttila and Patterson are co-drivers, not drivers, but after Sweden last year that's not exactly the case for Patterson now is it? ;-P

Co-drivers should be giving more credit than what is usually ascribed to them. Phil Mills was the man!

In the end, with one driver who is fantastically fast until he crashes and another driver with not an ounce of good luck in his body, it is going to be an interesting year for Ford fans.
