I saw an excellent article in a mag called
something like "Racecar Engineering" on
the ProDrive built Mondeo's, in it they
explained that the front bumper is the
stock Ford part with a new lower section added where the rubber skirt would be
normally on the road cars. Cost was the reason given due the high incidence of
crashed front bumpers and air dams.
I really like the look of the Mondeos
that were in the BTCC. A few of them made
it to Australia (series 1 and 2's) and
competed here in our 2 litre super tourer
series after the british teams had finished with them.
