Between Evo IX or even X and this Mk3 there is a massive difference. This car fits better for a track than for a roads but for Ogi it will be maybe enough to win :)Quote:

I Guess you're refering to the Team O'Neil video, the RS probably has 50 more HP.Quote:

Well, I hope it works. Otherwise we will not see this brand agian in WRC for a very long time.
Ogier is driving 'a Ford'... not 'for Ford'.Quote:

Ford just provide some technical advice.
I bet there is some money flow from Ford to M-Sport in whatever form (I guess free stock bodyshell parts etc.).
Dare to speculate how much "some money" is?Quote:
