Knowing Kens normal marketing technique he will drop a hint of the car 2 weeks before Sweden and then he will unveil the car the night before sweden.

Ford will continue testing in Sweden...
By unofficial information M-Sport will not start cause JML crashed Fiesta WRC and the team urgently went to England to built a new car for Sweden...Quote:

In this article it's written that the accident happened at 150 km/h AND at 6th gear. Have I missed this, does Fiesta WRC has 6 gears or is the article just wrong. (Google Translate doesn't translate 6th gear, but it is "kuutosvaihteella".)
I guess crashes will be something usual in the first half of the year, it's not that I want those crashes to happen, I hope no one gets hurt, but considering what drivers are saying about the new cars, It's something waiting to happen.
Plus the paying drivers tend to crash heavily even not competing on the top, so I guess both Ford and Citroen will have plenty of work in the meantime.
lol...so ford posses just 1 testing car for all 9 drivers to compete in Sweden...nice. Lets hope they let the drivers drive the car and not the engineers...Quote:

1-Fast enough.
2-Possible more car factories in WRC.
3-More drivers (that could win!).
4-More WRC T.V Coverage.
5-Probable more interesting for of sponsors.http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...es/icons/s.gif
You're wrong!Quote:

Gerard Quinn: "Accident in testing. Latvala and Anttila were unhurt in the 150kph crash but the Fiesta RS WRC requires extensive repair work. The team has revised its schedule and the car will now remain at the test location to finalise preparations for next month's Rally Sweden."
It's true.Quote:

If I got this right they will repair the car in sweden and continue test later this week?

That's a guess.
They were supposed to use the test car for Arctic.Quote:

Wilson Sr. for Autosport:
"We have a good track record in Sweden, both of our drivers [Mikko Hirvonen and Jari-Matti Latvala] have won there, but Sweden is quite a specific event. At the same time, with the altitude, Mexico is a little bit the same in round two. I don't think it's until we're down at sea level in Portugal that we'll really see where we're at with the cars."
As part of its commitment to the WRC this season, Wilson's M-Sport firm will not run any Super 2000 cars at all this year, focusing its attentions only on running the Fiesta RS WRC.
"We've got nine cars running in Sweden," added Wilson. "But by Portugal we'll have 10. We're not going to release the cars to the customers just yet, that will come later in the season."
much nicer the fiesta! lets hope to be faster than focus too.
Yeah, Fiesta looks muuuch better :)
And faster!Quote:
