Lappi has already driven the Fiesta in December and says it felt more rational and more logical (than Citroen).

It would be hard for any other car to compete with the Toyota & Hyundai machines. Their budgets would blow Ford out of the water even if they were full-time. Plus they are likely to have B-teams too.
The Fiesta's reliability and ruggedness is likey to earn M-Sport their best points. Speed on the occaisional rally may still be there but the opposition is mighty...
Gus Greensmith sounds like this is his year for spending big and trying to to prove himself...
@GreensmithGus
Big risk, big reward, car #44 for the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team 2020.
Gus isn't too bad, has some potential and without him it would probably just be two Fiestas so no complaints here. I see the car is free for Sweden (Tidemand?)

Updates for Monte:
Lappi is well on his way to testing the Fiesta as the team begins to prepare for the season-opening Monte Carlo rally. Lappi and Suninen travelled to France on Thursday for a test day.
An updated engine for Monte is coming to the car and later in the summer more new parts will be added to that side. A new aerodynamics package is coming also. They also seem to be developing the car, so I have a pretty good feeling about this.
Ah good, M-Sport was falling a bit behind on the engine evolutions front.Quote:

Will probably have to use relative speed of Evans and Suninen for comparison.
Lappi: "I don't see why it couldn't succeed. Development parts are coming in and then the car should go stronger. I think there can be big surprises about how hard our car can go." :)
