Won't really affect the WRC, or M-Sport. There was a recent event with Ford Performance, and their drivers.......and obviously, none of the WRC guys were there - as they're M-Sport, not Ford contracted drivers.......The poor relation couldn't be more stark.

Ford Racing still see M-Sport as part of them ...

ICYMI - M-Sport won the ERC / BRC Rali Ceredigion with Jon Armstrong. In fact it was a 1-2 with Romet Jurgenson in the sister Fiesta Rally2. :)

Both the Puma and the Fiesta are competitive under the right circumstances. But, it's definitely a crossroad for M-Sport and Ford. They either invest on a new car for 2027 with a proven driver behind the wheel or call a day. Possibly withdrawing from Rally 1 and focusing on the rumored Puma Rally 2 is another option.

Poems are nice :)
