My mate went to a round of the world rally champs in Wales the other day. I was looking at his pics and the safety car that ran the stage before the racers was none other than an s60 t5! Apparently the Citroen team use them as recce cars as well.

Who needs a wrc car! Give me a Volvo barge any day!

The Ford WRC Team use white S60R's as reccy/gravel note cars, total of about 8/10 of them

Think you will find the safety car he saw was one of the gravel note cars

Will try and get a pic from the next round ,, Wrc France
