Lets hope Sesks is hired by some of those 2027 projects.Quote:

Munster plans only Monte in the Puma, then some Rally2 drives...

I guess there's no new promoter then.
If Hyundai doesn't change anything, then Toyota already 1-0 with livery

Finally someone listened to our complaints, took them only two years but better late than never, now up to Hyundai to not look like clowns.Quote:

Told ya it'll be red.
Now.. next year will be the Celica :D
Rumour has it Seb will have his own separate livery as well. With the brand that was on the Fords....
Finally a good livery by Toyota
Reading stuff online that Ogier's 2026 Toyota will have Red Bull sponsorship... and that the M-Sport cars will no longer have any RB sponsorship.
Possibly this is why in the last serie of MthM Millner was talking about importance of having good performance in Saudi Arabia because they had a risk of loosing partners.Quote:

It is a pay driver team, so don't expect to see anyone really wanting to sponsor the team itself. Or you'd expect to at least have some podiums in a three team championship...
True. Keep an eye out!Quote:

Maybe these two drivers in WRC will attract an Irish company to take some space on the cars. If not its probable that Castrol will be the main sponsors.Quote:

Don't think Red Bull will drop M-Sport now. Especially since they're starting their Ford partnership officially next week. Unless,Ford has decided to quit WRC for good, that is... BP sold their majority shareholding of Castrol, so this deal may have done its course, instead.
The Castrol deal was linked to Ford as Castrol are the lubricant suppliers to Ford for production car manufacture. Any change in marketing policy from either, or a new deal for somebody else to supply Ford production cars could result in a change to the M-Sport rally car branding.
RedBull was always on winning vehicles or at least on those who was close to winning, not on those who doesn't even stand a chance.
there was a big red bull on the pumas till 1 month ago...Quote:

Today in latvian podcast Martins Sesks told that he indeed was involved in talks with Hyundai about 2026
Speaking of Castrol, BP sold 65% of the shares to American investment firm Stonepeak.

Ogier’s livery is Redbull. Mentioned this before on the forum and RB just shared on Instagram. :D
Ogier having Red Bull doesn't have to stop M-Sport having Red Bull IMO.
Ogier gets more Red Bull, Fourmaux gets less.....
Ogier get more Red Bull wings, Fourmaux gets less wings...Quote:

En 2026, M-Sport va continuer son partenariat avec Sesks pour une saison partielle de sept épreuves dès la Suède le mois prochain, puis le Portugal, Grèce, Estonie, Finlande, Sardaigne et Arabie Saoudite.
Again no tarmac. Good luck getting full time factory seat with only 4 tarmac rallies almost 4 years ago in Rally2.
