Rich Millener said on the DF podcast that the Rally2 Fiesta is getting another upgrade. He sees it as still competitive for 2026 and maybe even 2027 while M-Sport still decides on a new car.
Romet Jürgenson was testing the upgraded car today at Greystoke.
Munster has announced he will participate in RMC with the Puma. So, it's 3 Pumas for there and more than likely between Sesks and Munster for every round.
Munster will use Serderidis car. Nothing related to Sesks.
Nobody out of three will shine out there, so it doesn't matter at all.
Vi do not know; might be that McEarlen is much closer to top than we think. Monte is not about speed, but smart and brave driving. Also Munster might surprise with 1 SS win - he has no pressure anymore.Quote:

M-Sport team principal Richard Millener has made it clear the team wants to continue working with Ford in the World Rally Championship.

Obviously. Like I said, the BS wording in some random blog were untrue.
You are forgeting the other half of the message. They would like to continue with Ford, but Millener said they still are a business. So if Ford is pulling out from WRC, then they have no other choice.
Ford pulled out from WRC after the 2012 season. Having only the badge and some ''support'' isn't proper support. They will of course do evertyhing to keep Ford cars, but if the things will not sort, they would need to pull out or start talking to potential new partners.
Also I don't get it why they didn't do new Rally2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 car and keep their business high and rather put every single resource in Puma and hoping Ford would come back, because it didn't and will not. Now it's kinda too late and I think that even upgrading their old Fiesta will not making them miracles. So it's part their fault also to drain their resources.
