Ford Focus?

Thankfully you weren't hurt badly in the explosion, as you mentioned it could have been a whole lot worse!

Hasn't Ford been using the Focus and/or Fiesta in the World Rally Championship (WRC) in Europe for many years? Those cars make upwards of 600 HP(!) and I'm sure there are WRC/Euro-spec safety equipment items being made available to those race-teams. Interesting to see that NHRA accepted the AWD platform for the Focus, after nixing it on the SUV/Trucks. I guess it's all how you address the situation!
