The Fiesta looks faster in the Sweden video than the Focus did; at least it looks & sounds much more entertaining. Great that the new cars rev higher too although the Fiesta still suffers a little from "Pipo Moteurs disease"
I think PIPO Moteurs haven't done a lot of work on this DI engine, on which Ford has collaborated with M-Sport and PIPO Moteurs.
So you're saying Ford and M-Sport did most of the development work or not much development has taken place at all?Quote:

meh...it looks more like a private entry livery...from this angle at least.
From this angle it's like commenting a final rally result from the first split. - - But it is better than Citroen anno 2007 or any Rautenbach livery...Quote:

To be honest i do not like white base colour for liveries Ford could have used their trademark blue or even that flashy green.
but i guess if it goes good, and wins the livery will get to us eventually.

Front of the car. To small and this looks a lit boring.
With Castrol Edge sponsoring you can do much better.

Studio pics are ok for me. Looks aggressive.
Car must be on bump stops, very low and the rears have massive camber. The wheel guard are massive, not your normal FiestaQuote:

You'd think so, but Mikko is nominated as lead driver for the Ford WRTQuote:

WHAT?! That's just utter bullsh*t. What's your source? Because just few days ago JM told that there isn't any decisions made concerning driver hierarchy yet...Quote:

indeed the studio photos look far better....
as far as the lead river...the one with the better manager and he who pumps more money will get the lead driving seat, its almost a custom for finnish drivers nowadays.
Yeah it's in the nominations for Manu points. Was supposed to say that. They might still treat them as equal or something. Takes the pressure off Jari, so he can just drive. I really hope Mikko found his mojo/balls over the holidays.Quote:

I also think the Citroën livery of 2007 was good, it made it look like an actual manufacturer car, without a lot of different sponsors and colours. I never liked the look of Red Bull logo's on cars, but on the DS3 it actually looks nice. Could have more to do with the car though.
Very nice the new livery.
Thanks Roy!Quote:

Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team and M-Sport Stobart WRT!
Red Bull still sponsoring Citroen WRT?

I like the new livery more than the one from Focus which was awful. It's still a bit too colorful but looks much more dynamic than before (also thanks to Fiesta look).
completely agree! the old livery was so ugly...and it feels like they we´re driving around with it since 5 years(it was only 2 i guess) and got more and more boring. new one looks mutch better!Quote:
