Martini Racing/FordRallyeSport Fiesta ST

[BRGT350]

I created my own designed side graphics based on the Martini Racing 2000-01 Focus WRC and 2002 Focus RS WRC. The Martini inspired side stripes follow the Fiesta's body character lines, much like the mountune side stripes. The stripes were created using a grid pattern to match the rise and run of the curves on the car. From there, the grid pattern was placed in SolidWorks CAD software and the stripes created using splines. After that, the line drawing was exported and sent to Rekleiner Vinyl Graphics for final tweaks and cutting. The red and blue hues were matched to the Pantone colors that have been used on a number of different Martini Racing race cars. While the reds used on the actual cars seem to vary, I picked a red that is closest to the ST badges. What started being designed 1 year ago is now finally complete.

[CanadianGuy]

Very nice

 

[rexdriver85]

Very clean, not overly done. Great look!

 

[haste]

Love the effort and quality of the work but I honestly don't think it works with that blue. If the car was white...

 

[Brick]

I think it looks great. Those stripes are not over the top, just perfect really.

 

[airjor13]

Dig it! Very nice

 

[StayPuft]

I love it! I've been wanting to do Martini livery too. I like your design.

 

[BRGT350]

Thanks everyone. It was a little bit of a risk doing this on a blue car versus the normally expected white, however, my research showed that the Martini colors have been used on all sorts of colors other than white. The color scheme works well with my ST since the ST badges are all red, the light blue is similar to the Axis decals on the wheel centercaps, and the yellow surround on the Martini logo matches the mountune springs, decals and plate frame.

 

[BostonDriver]

I like it too, but I will say that I was expecting to see some white between the stripes...

looking good there!

 

[BRGT350]

thanks, I need to get around to adding more of my YouTube and Flickr content documenting what has been done so far. I never realized how little I have posted online about all the work I have been doing since last year.

[SPhilli911]

I love this car! I definitely like the rally look, the decals look great.

 

[BRGT350]

thanks SPhilli911! I like your ST as well, of course I am somewhat partial to Performance Blue with white wheels.

 

[CanadianGuy]

[MENTION=1313]BRGT350[/MENTION] great video explaining your changes as always

 

[TapTapPull]

Sorry if these are out there, but do you have some closer engine bay shots? and with the plastic ST engine cover removed?

Looks great!

The top of the airbox has since been covered after noticing the amount of heat present on the cover compared to the sides. I finished wrapping that last week. I started the foil last fall and didn't have much data to pull from concerning the temps in the summer. It wasn't until a few weeks ago temps reached 90 degrees for the first time in a few years.

 

[TapTapPull]

Awesome. Thanks - looks great, and I'm sure the wrap helps performance, some.

 

[BRGT350]

I really don't know how much it helps, but it can't hurt. I figured the less heat absorbed into the ducting that gets transferred to the intake charge is less heat the intercooler needs to cool. When I look at competition cars, everything from WRC, time attack, endurance, road racing, and even high performance street cars, they all use the foil to reflect heat away from the induction system and anything else that is subjected to damage from heat. That is enough justification for me to try it. Besides, it is really cheap to do in comparison to a new intercooler.
