let's see what '25 reg brings to m-sport
WRC changes are key to M-Sport continuing...

A much needed win and morale boost for the team. Hope it's a sign of things smoothing out from now on. Onwards and upwards. Let's hope Pierre Louis manages to scrap a good event now. He definitely needs it.
Hopefully the technical gremlins are in the past and the cars will be in the fight in the last two rallies. Congratulations!
Theres a good chance this thread will be archived before the start of the next season
Please Mr. Wilson hire Evans.

It doesn’t look likely. Will probably be Loubet, Fourmaux, plus the usual irregular third car every now and then, probably with Munster on a few of those occasions.
Tanak:
"This year has gone by so fast together with M-Sport Ford WRT.
I'm proud we have managed to win two rallies against such big manufacturers and we were able to be in the championship fight for the first part of the season.
"But this sport is tough and unfortunately we went down a few times too many, nevertheless all the people really tried hard to give us the best chances and I'm very grateful for them."
