– worth over £40,000
Mintex Xtreme, manufacturers of the leading brand of performance brake pads, is offering some lucky driver the chance to win a WRC spec’ Ford Focus, worth over £40,000. Based on the standard Ford Focus RS, the car is being upgraded to full rallying specification.
Mark Higson, Marketing manager at Xtreme Brakes explains, “This car is being given the full treatment by Puma Speed, a Ford performance specialist. Working from the already high spec’ of the standard car they are adding performance features such as: high-power engine (+500BHP), safety roll-cage, uprated suspension, WRC body kit and large 19-inch Wolfrace wheels. And of course it will have high-power Mintex Xtreme brakes.
These are an important part of ensuring high safety levels for the car, as with such awesome performance, it is vital that it can stop quickly in an emergency.”
The competition is open to anyone and the winner will be the person who makes the lowest unique bid for the car. Entering is easy and can be done either by going to the Website at xtremebid.co.uk, or by texting “brakes” and your bid price to 80160. All bids must be in pence and be received by Aug 31 2007.
Higson continued, “We are really excited about this project, having exhibited the car recently at Donnington we have had very positive feedback about what we are going to do with it and are already beginning to get in a lot of bids. We have deliberately designed the competition so that bidders will know straight away whether their bid is the lowest unique one and also if they are then subsequently outbid. That way they can decide whether to rebid for the car.We are sponsoring this because we know how important Xtreme brakes are to a world rally specification car. This stems from our long experience of producing high-performance brake pads especially for this demanding environment.”
