Ford Fiesta RS WRC

What can we see from 1 minute youtube films? They tested long days! What we saw in the movies was a slow driver.

We have to wait for Rally Sweden 2011 for a good view.

What use is 80% speed testing with a crap driver? I repeat myself again, for this very reason they'll be behind next year

Do you mean why Ford used Wilson for test and not Hirvonen and Latvala? You are right. It is a lack of vision that the team spend no money for more test with these guys.
But maybe they test later, from Wales until Sweden? Not yet?

Lack of vision and a primary interest being business nowadays. Although there seems to be budget for a company helicopter registered G-MSPT (MSPT for M-Sport, nice!)
seen here: watch at 5:49 to see it.

This chopper is a EUROCOPTER EC 135 twin turbine machine.

estimated price per unit : 4.000.000USD

So apparently budget is tight for developping a rally car and hiring proper drivers but for this it's OK. :eek:

Can't say I'm a huge Ford fan, but how much do they actually put in?? Can't be that much.

The WRC seems to be more about making money than making it a successful sport!!

Roy and Kaffi, that is exactly why Ford will always be second best. Wasting money on helicopters, your useless son and other crap will not help you win titles....... Let's remember that these last few years have been the least competitive for a while and still no drivers titles....

When i was a boy i was told stories about Trolls and was under the impression they lived under bridges in the western provinces of Sweden and all over Norway.
Did some take the ferry to Englanti?

I now know why some of you think the Fiesta is slow.
The first clips were in slow motion. :D :D :D
