Olympus Rally, 2017

Went up to Shelton (Washington) this morning to look at the cars before the rally got started. It was probably 80% Subarus. Also a couple of BMW's, a Datsun 280Z, a Toyota, a Nissan, a Saab V4, a Volvo, a Chevy Sprint Turbo and five Fords:

Mk II Cortina -- the oldest car on the roster.

I made back this year (2023). Here are some Ford photos.

This appears to be a brand new Fiesta Rally 3. I was surprised to see so many euro-spec Fiesta rally cars.

Here are some photos from this year's event (2024).

My unscientific observation is that Ford was the second best represented make there (after Subaru, which had a factory sponsored car).

There as a Mk I and Mk II Escort, a 1990s America Escort GT, A Mustang, three Focuses and maybe have a dozen modern Fiestas, including European M-Sport cars.

Here are some photos:
