No that's isn't a Falcon, I know that for a fact. The Falcon used to look like the American Mondeo until about 3 years ago when it became the bug eyed version, then the Beauty that prowels Australia today.

No idea what it is but I'll do some research.

EDIT: A bit of digging and it seems that Fredrick Nordstrom also drives this


at Snetterton.

It's a Custom built car for the T-Cars championsip, based around a ford 2.0 Engine hence the Ford Badge.

And it's British.

Yep, T-car.

The daughter of my co-director at work, used to race them. She is now too old at the ripe old age of 18!!

Go to the gallery for pics.

I understand they were developed in Ireland for a one make series over there. Then imported here for the T-Cars championship.

I have sent my mate who knows everything about cars and I do mean everything. He can tell what type of car it is my such random tiny things and I sent him the link to here and his reply was

I think it's an Asia or Southern Hemisphere (Aus or NZ?) Ford, probably based on a Mazda 323 platform. Ford share quite a lot with Mazda in most non-European markets.

See this is how geeky he is! He is a great chap though. Anymore ideas on what it is?

It's definately a T-Car.  It actually says so on the door!  :wink:  Advent Motorsport run a team for the series.

Here's the official web site:

Ruth came second in the 2004 championship, Fredick came in 4th.
