    Since the contracts for the following season are usually sorted around the time Rally Finland takes place, Ford will probably publish their decision by that time.

    I'm hopeful, but I'm a fan. At Monte we heard some positive sounds. It has gone really well since then. M-Sport is leading both championships, won the most rallies, had a car on the podium at every rally and are the only team to have multiple drivers winning. Poland and Finland should suit the car and Tanak is on fire.

    Ogier says he will stay if Ford returns. The other drivers are strong too and could certainly be kept. They could be the ones to beat for years to come.

    It is all set. Will it go through?

    Edit: Also the WRC is interesting and thrilling now with good competition between many teams. It's not just them against Citroen anymore or VW walking over everybody.

    Rovanpera linked to M-Sport & BRC in 2018:

    No deal had been done on a car for Rovanpera next season, but it would likely come down to sticking with the current Skoda Fabia R5 or switching to an M-Sport-run Ford Fiesta R5.

    M-Sport has plenty of experience of running Jouhki’s juniors; Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen were part of the Ford WRC team from 2006 until Ford’s withdrawal at the end of 2012. Teemu Suninen – who makes his debut in a Ford Fiesta WRC in Poland this week – is another Jouhki driver under an M-Sport contract for this year’s WRC2 series.

    M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson told MN: “We’re be very interested in working with Kalle – he’s clearly a young driver with a very exciting future. We’ve talked about a few things with Kalle and Timo and Harri, but nothing is done. There are different options, but a BRC programme would be a good plan with the world rounds mentioned.”

    There will once again be some very difficult questions asked in M-Sport's offices tomorrow with (relative) lack of speed on Ogier's side of the garage and (repeat) wing failure leading to overdriving on Tanak's side of the team.

    After eight rounds both Tanak AND Evans have scored more fastest times than Ogier. Even regardless of road position that is incredible really.

    And still Ogier has about the same amount of points as those guys together.

    Sorry, may have missed it but did Tanak's rear aero pack "just" fall off or did he get a knock or something somewhere?

    They should probably take a look at the design of their mounting system. A repeat of that failure may prove very costly in Finland.
