My final word.
My membership card states:
MS-RT Supporters Club.
I dont think I am supporting the Road Technology....

I remember people wondering how the package can be so cheap. This is the reason, MS-RT pays for it and in exchange gets promotion by people wearing their logos.
Anttil is right. MS-RT upgrade Ford vans and trucks. M-Sport is just M-Sport.
Seems to me that you really are supporting Road Technology ;)Quote:

Idiots. MS-RT is not the M-Sport rally team. It's road technology company or brand, making Ford vans and that kind of stuff. And supporting the rally team. M-Sport is behind the MS-RT with Van-Sport (british company) but M-Sport rally team is different thing.

Alex009 - calling people idiots is a bit harsh... And to go one further, you probably feel like a bit of a tail, because you are not correct.Quote:

sad, but I emailed them to ask..
Thanks car. That's that issue settled then. Can we go back to complaining about the Panasonic sticker on the Toyota now ;)
Don’t get me started! First time I saw them, I thought they had just ‘placed’ them there so they could decide what to do with them...Quote:

I suppose the Cosworth sticker only refers to the electronics?
Does the WRCar have different rear light layout than the fish hook look of the production car?Quote:

I guess that's the price we have to pay for the Ford Performance backing. Ford USA are so desperate to have him compete somewhere. I wonder why. He's an excellent stuntman. Just leave it at that, it's fine as it is.Quote:

Everyone yelling his name (blockie in Aus) and wearing his hats like he was world champion. Dude is a marketing machine and for that alone they will sponsor the guy. I’m sure he will do a rally or two and come in 10-11th place behind Kopecky and Pontus and then blame it on pace notes as he always has.
lol we who know WRC might not like him on the race. but i can tell you the non WRC fan know him very well. and think he is like the Best in WRC, i once had a serious argument with someone. when i told him. Ken block sucked in rally. he never understood me.Quote:

This! Anything which will boost the profile of WRC is welcome. Even in a new generation WRC car i think Block would struggle to beat the leading wrc2 drivers let alone the wrc. Still hes more than welcone and his cars usually have a good colour schemeQuote:

People are just jealous that their favorites get less attention despite setting faster times than him. But this is modern marketing.
It's kind of same as Kimi Räikkönen doing WRC. It gives exposure but not competition. Win or lose?
Win, much better than Bertelli for example.Quote:

Well I see it similar in the way that Kimi and Ken are popular characters and professionals in driving cars fast but not rallying. Kimi's expertise is more in competition but Ken's expertise is closer to rallying than Kimi's.Quote:
