Sounds like getting ready to leave WRC as manu.
M-Sport is long term partner of Ford Performance. The Ford ranger Raptor T1+ is one of the products they are involved. WRC off-course and the engine of Mustang GT3 for Lemans is also from M-sport. I don't see how you can read this that Ford may be leaving WRC. This all leads to fill up the gap where they are not involved yet.Quote:

Awesome news! Can they also race that car in Baja1000? I dont remember if they actually raced the Bronco Project R already over there. (Not Msport built)
does m sport has so many resources to enter this type of races?
The Bentley programme is gone, Rally 1 and Rally 2 are smaller than they used to be.Quote:

I know this was planned from early on this year but it is way too early for this young fella. Still one more Rally1 car is good though ...Quote:
