    Not only a huge production plant, Ford Europe is based in Cologne

    Thats the point. Ford Europe

    In Germany Ogier will have new car again. So, the other are now as test car. Maybe the former test car will be refurbished to Suninen or Bertelli one.

    And no new car for Tänak ? Still with the old one, while Ogier gets his third ?

    This sounds quite odd ...

    Possibly M-Sport will get some backing off of Ford Europe and a main [German?] sponsor next season and they will announce the collaboration in Germany with Kremer driving a car with the next year sponsor livery?

    A man can dream.

    I have to point out again that Ford's motorsport (and marketing) budget is now under the total control of FoMoCo in Dearborn, Michigan. Sorry, to burst your bubble.

    , that's not even a sport. I was thinking more global anyway. Otherwise icehockey is good.

    James Fairley, Ford Europe former president (he left on June 1st) returned to Deaborn as he was promoted to FoMoCo vice president. He knows what MSport has been doing at the WRC and how badly they need Ford full support. Fairley is also a notorious petrolhead so there's some hope he can be instrumental in Ford’s return, as we all want and the sport deserves. Fingers crossed.
