Like I said above, I think you are underestimating M-Sport, Eddie. I'm not entirely convinced that Ford's performance department does have that many skills that M-Sport doesn't already have.
Wilson and Ogier, I guess, will have to say that Ford are contributing from a technical POV, but M-sport created the car as it is and I think Ford could learn from them, not the other way around.
Maybe I see Ford Performance as more of a sponsor, rather than a development partner.
Still a win-win situation for both parties.
Not entirely sure, but what contribution do Toyota make to the development of the Yaris? (I don't think it's a great deal) and that car has seen great success, considering it's age and the short history of Makkinen's operation, which runs it.
I guess time will tell though and it will become more apparent, one way or the other as the season unfolds.
Eddie, on another note; any idea where I can find spectator info for the Malcolm Wilson rally? Cheers.Last edited by T16; 4th February 2018 at 14:00.

Underestimating M-Sport is the last thing I'm doing, especially after what they achieved last year. As a long-time supporter I'm well aware of their qualities.
But if Ogier says he needs Ford (Performance) to keep developing the car and make him stay then thats good enough for me.

After Mexico, a Fiesta WRC will join the Ford Performance workshops in the USA to work on the aero and the engine. For Wilson, the car did not suffer a big évol for this start of the season, progress will be visible in the second part of the year.

Maybe Ford Performance involvement should be main reason why WRC is thinking about adding rally in Canada?

When was the last time Ford brought three cars with identical liveries to a WRC event?
