Via @Jen_Just_Jen on Twitter, here we get a small behind the scenes peek at how the first WRC Countryman came to be. I never get tired of that engine noise, do you?
<p>Good video though brief on much in the way of details on the car, still quite obvious this is quite different than a stock R60. Would be interesting to know what Prodrive did with the AWD system, my bet is a complete replacement of the adaptive AWD system in the stock car.</p>
<p>Nice sweep of the podium by Ford for the first race. Should be an interesting season. While not a R60 fan I am a huge fan of Prodrive so kinda balances it out.</p>

<p>Yes we did. Probably a week before Nathaniel started.</p>
<p>D’oh!</p>
<p>Still kool! I’m always amazed at the lack of comments about the WRC stuff? Maybe because there’s nothing to be nasty about?</p>
<p>Or there is close to no news to discuss. It will be quite for a bit until before the first race….</p>
