What interested me was it was the first time I had seen them claim a torque figure. If it's wrong by the same factor as the power figure then 300NM looks realistic.

They seem to be running a very intensive schedule! Tarmac, rough gravel and muddy gravel all within a month. Big setup they have in the forest there too.Quote:

However, Wilson wants to ensure that the Fiesta R5 continues to run at the head of the field in the face of opposition from Peugeot’s 208T16, so is looking into the possibility of getting another star name into one of his cars alongside Kajetanowicz, the four-time Polish champion.
“I’ve no plans to at the moment but there’s nothing to say that we won’t put Ott Tänak out,” said Wilson. “I need to make sure our cars are winning wherever possible so we will probably do something.”
With Kajetanowicz not including the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally on his schedule for 2014 with the LOTOS Rally Team, Robert Barrable will be the lone Fiesta R5 representative when the ERC resumes in Belfast from 17-19 April.

Its a shame that M-Sport themselves need to enter drivers to get the car competing and winning.
