White wheels and a top day out


A couple of little news nuggets for you today. Firstly, as you can see from the picture above, Ford is now officially offering the Focus RS with white wheels. Echoing the style of the World Rally Championship car, the alloys have been launched to mark the end of production for the popular hot-hatch. They’re only available in 19-inch rims and cost £500 for a set of four. Demand is expected to be high.

The second thing worthy of note is GTI International, the UK’s biggest event for enthusiasts of high performance vehicles from the Volkswagen Group – VW, Audi, SEAT and others. Now in its 23rd year, it’s taking place at the legendary Bruntingthorpe proving ground in Leicestershire on 26/27 June. Visitors can camp overnight, enter their pride and joy in a ‘Show & Shine’, take part in a quarter-mile sprint and visit a range of exhibition stands. It’s a great event even if you’re not an owner.
