Agree - I think it will be a very good car with the knowledge M-Sport has of the WRC Focus.

True, i am not big fan of Christian, but he did make a good car at Subaru and then the Focus, so i believe he will he made a good Fiesta.Quote:

The car is a Ford, it is homologated as a Ford by Ford. There isn't an M-Sport road car base version....
Is IRC making up rules as it goes along just to get teams involved?
Dont forget that Ralliart is registered not Mitsubishi ;)
Yeah, definitely he cannot do Monte, as the Dakar ends so late that he should miss all recce and that is not allowed. But the year is long...Quote:

Al Attiyah starts SWRC in Mexico, so no Sweden (SWRC), and no Brasil (IRC). He will defintly do the Qatar rally (MERC) 21-23 januari. He skips rallying in februari. Now that VW is highly going to WRC, he is free of testing and doing rally raids with the Race Touareg.
The Jordan rally (SWRT) and the Cyprus Rally (IRC) are also counting for the MERC, so those will be on his list this year.
