Re: Ford Focus WRC question
I think that this one (but you are the photographer) is a really bad pic with a lot of noise - some strange lights setups ?!? that may not be the best one to judge color, but just looking at it it appear as red as my pic above appear orange !!
that said I can add that your informations given to me have always been usefull and true so I can easily trust you and feel sorry for contradiction to Steve and others if I were wrong... I sincerely thought I had the correct information... I hate to give bad informations... |

Re: Ford Focus WRC question
If I remember correctly, Tamiya quoted TS-49 red for their Focus, which was Monte Carlo '99. Hasegawa didn't give any paint number, but instead supplied decals for the red/orange areas. They were almost day-glo in appearance.

The debate is still open whether this red stayed the same for the whole season. Don't worry : I myself would accept a proof that I was mistaken |

Re: Ford Focus WRC question
Hey guys,
I am more and more convinced that the Monte-Carlo red was one of a kind. I read somewhere that the red color used in Monte-Carlo was the one of Valvoline brand, before switching to the fluo red. I think I read that the brighter red was for Martini, but I'm not 100% convinced. |

Re: Ford Focus WRC question
It seems to me that when they changed color, they began to show better results. In general, Ford cars are probably the most suitable for rebuilding under the rally. Many believe that Ford's racing history begins with the Escort, but this is not entirely true. In the beginning was the Ford Anglia.

Re: Ford Focus WRC question
I’m new here, but I hope I can interject something to this thread. I have a background in photography, and the most difficult color to photograph correctly is red. Especially, fluorescent red. Something about the saturation of the color drives cameras nuts. Just something to consider.

Re: Ford Focus WRC question
Yeah this was considered, along with the age of these photographs.
Red is a bitch anyway ; it turns quickly into pink with years on cars. |
