Finally
By the way, a small trivia detail, it’s the first time since 2004 the ford cars are carrying the #7 & #8, the only difference being the country flags which are the opposite (Duval was No. 8 back then).
Duval had Belgian flag and Loubet has French flagQuote:

10+ Katsuta, Bertelli etc
IMO it’s not a bullshit system
Back in the day you had to get used to the drivers having new numbers again from time to time
Now I’m so used that Thierry is 11, Ott is 8 and etc
Will we get to see Rovanperä wearing no. 1 for the first time this year?Quote:

#KR69 is a big brand for him though. I mean, the permanent numbers were created for this reason, to be brands.Quote:

I really do miss the large door numbers. Would probably care for who picks what number if they brought back those. .Quote:

I know, even those are hard to see especially the red against black. Katsuta also black but some different stickers.Quote:

We wont see changes in manning until after Mexico. Maybe for Mexico if Loubet goes off in the two first rallies.
Loeb doesn’t have enough time to finish Dakar then get over to do the Monte recce, nothing can be done by M-Sport or Loeb about that
Also i doubt that a top line driver needs help even if said help would come from Loeb.
What i think is little bit of worrying before the new season, is that Both Hyundai and Toyota have upgraded their cars in one way or another, but Ford has not done anything, atleast i dont see any changes and no info about it anywhere also. maybe they are waiting for some feedback and instructions from Tänak so they wouldnt rush with pointless updates, but i guess we will see after Sweden, Monte is not so much about car performance as it is about driver skill and knowledge of the rally.
No info even about the engine update anymore
They don't have to talk about updates all the time. I'm sure they have work in progressQuote:

Well if you put it that way, then M-sport has made the biggest and best upgrade possibleQuote:

Hints to the blue Escort RS1700 T Wilson owns. Very possibly the base colour for the 2023 season.
