It doesn't mention the WRC in that quote.
As we've been here before... it's probably best that you address your concerns with M-Sport marketing to M-Sport themselves.
Eddie, may I ask why are You concerned about that?
Anyway VP Racing is used by M-Sport in the ERC-Junior R2 cars (I believe that it's the case for Cais, Torn and Franceschi) and by many private users of both the R5 and R2 cars. AFAIK most of the Fiestas R5 here in CZ have been running the VP Racing fuels already for years.
BRR also has Fabia EVO now
I have. They need to be more careful with such social media posts and calling this 'News' on their website.Quote:

You're making a drama from something totally unimportant for anyone not directly involved in the business. That's waste of time and energy. Spend it for something which is worth it.Quote:

After watching the Harju in all live I'm not really impressed with the new Fiesta. It looks somewhat underpowered (especially when accelerating uphill from slow corner on the first gear) and somewhat strange behaving at moments (for example the rear inner wheel lifting in sharp corners with both cars).
Camilli said he was happy at the end of the stages, but he didn’t seem it.Quote:

I agree with Mirek about looking under-powered and to me the chassis looks quite narrow for the body.
I'm pretty sure they use the maximum allowed width 1820 mm.
The difference is that the new stock Fiesta is wider then the previous one or Fabia so the bodykit doesn't add that much.
Maybe they have used too much from the WRC Fiesta and it doesnt work in an R5.
But the engine seems the biggest worry. Surprising as all those trying the car said how much stronger the engine was.
M-Sport need to sort it our asap or their reputation (& sales) will plummet.
The engine is for sure not the thing to be worried about in that car
So what has gone wrong? Or is it just a matter of finding the right set up?Quote:

Another saying how impressive the car is on a test. Let's hope this translates into some good results on gravel soon.Quote:
