So this will be interesting. As a commercial exercise for M-Sport it makes sense to have people in the IRC. But for Ford Motor Company maybe less so when they have thrown their weight behind the WRC.

But it's for all Ford drivers, not only S2000 ones. That means every single Fiesta gr.N or R2 and any other car. For me it makes sense to provide hundreds of customers an opportunity to score points and be visible on Eurosport.

Are they thinking about coming back to WRC eventually? I hope so :)

The one's who are there with any real purpose are Peugeot, Skoda and Proton. It remains to be seen what Ford do in 2010 but ultimately they belong to the WRC.

So let's not even pretend the number is that lopsided in favour of the IRC.

They're a couple of months thinking to come back to the WRC ASAP, as they are selling again a good number of cars. They are just waiting to have a stable financial situation, then they'll come back. ;)

Excellent news!

Plus one of the tarmac stages, Hermeskeil, will have a long gravel session in it.
