M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

I think a driver that is slower but gives good feedback is way better than a fast driver who doesn't know what he's talking about.
A story about Francois Duval from the book of Stephane Prevot comes into my mind. He was very fast without a doubt, but when driving for Citroën he didn't even know the difference between under and oversteer...

I am not (and I don't think anyone else is either).

But I am worried if it will be only those 3, off course that alone does not mean it can't be a great car.

Mikkelsen could be an option... but Skoda :D

Thank you.

The problem with that is that until 1.1.2022 R1 is a low-level FWD car...it's gonna sound weird and cause misunderstandings. That's why they didn't call them R1, R2, .... but Rally1, Rally2...

I know it's not the most convenient way...GR1, GR2....? No, wait, that's done already as well. RG1? That also means something else.

I’ll be fine - I have a pretty decent ability to forget, so R1 car it is ;)

then someone says "Remember when Ingram drove the R5 car?". Do you think of the Skoda Fabia or the Renault Clio?

I wouldn’t have any historical interest in Ingram whatsoever. Still happy with R1 car.

There will be not Fiesta R1... will be Rally1. Stop abreviate what will not be abreviate.
