Also, I have heard that due to Brexit it is quite difficult and more expensive to get parts for the Fiestas, but maybe someone with more knowledge could deny or confirm this.

M-Sport was promising development, but did almost nothing. There is no progress...

The best drivers are in others. No official national Ford teams too. It is lost.

What did it say about development?

Maybe M-Sport can do what Skoda did with the Fabia Rally2 Evo which was a new homologation based on the facelifted road car?

You’d think they would take it seriously as it’s an important source of income for them.

"Development is underway across the board with our Fiesta based cars as well, with the Fiesta Rally2, Rally3 and Rally4 currently enjoying thorough development programmes."
