I don't like their car, I don't like their tactics and it seems to be largely them who are holding up progress on the future regulations.

Do you really have interest on WRC or are you jocking?

The rally activities is mainly supported by Ford Europe, wich is not near a bankrupt as the US Ford Motor Company.

Otherwise, the money spent on WRC program is peanuts compared with the losses of the company.

You really don't know do you. Most of M-Sport's money comes from Yabba Dabba Dabhi, the middle east and BP

And Subaru still wouldn't be able to win a rally! :) :) :)

Also to make matters worse, Rautencrash would probably be a regular top 5 finisher. :rolleyes:

I think that even you agree that a part of the budget is assured by Ford. Without Ford contribution there was no WRC program at this level. This contribution is peanuts on the overall losses.

So, i don't understand where is your point.

As long as they keep their part of the 3 year warranty on my Fietsa!

Like I said before M-Sport get most of their funding elsewhere so what happens to Ford is largely irrelevant at least in the short term.

How do you know how much each sponsor pays?

It's looking really really bad for GM and Chrysler, but I somehow think that Ford will be the one surviving leaving them with a big market in the US.
