After @SebastienLoeb and @SebOgier @PL_Loubet new hope Exhaust 2017 coming out of PH Sport We wish him the same success
from google translate
word exhaust = echappement magazine
Looks like an award he has won. Loubet has looked decent. Another season of WRC2 would be good for him but let's see what is programme is.Quote:

He is just jealous.
Yup, the Toyota is too good. He needs something slower to show how good driver he really is.
So now they should go for Mikkelsen..Quote:

Nice. I wonder if at the next M-Sport test some of the camo will now be removed seen as the road car is out in the open.Quote:

Did we already see this version disquised in MSport blue pattern, as 2017 WRC car?Quote:

No rally i guess
Nah let's be realistic it was never going to be about rallying. Even if Ogier loved the Fiesta and signed with M-Sport there and then last week - it's probably not possible to get anything signed off in a company that big.
My feeling is that M-Sport/WRC promoter will need to use Ogier in a Fiesta as a case study to try and prove to Ford Motor Company that they should come back. But I think if they do it will be 2018. And honestly I don't think they are interested.
It's a shame because being able to launch the Fiesta WRC at the same time would be some awesome PR for the sport. You can see in the comments people are already asking about performance versions - ST, RS etc.
Has anything changed in the promotion of the WRC, that would entice Ford to come back? Answer honestly.
They have programmes in WEC, IMSA, Nascar, World RX and GRC........that covers all of their bases....
Not enough. RX? Kidding?Quote:

*actually being promoted.
Come on Andy, WEC doesn’t cover anything, because it’s all about one race (LM) and they’re competing for the 3rd category win; IMSA is a 2nd level series in the US; WRX or GRX are overvalued by rally fans, as they’re nothing more than niche competitions. Besides NASCAR (mandatory for US manus), honestly I don’t see Ford covering properly their motorsport bases.Quote:

We just need to be a bit more optimistic…and keep fingers crossed!

There are only 2 categories in WEC - LMP & GT. But this is rally forum anyway.
Five: LM P1; LM P1 Private; LM P2; LM GTE Pro; LM GTE Am. Ford's fighiting for the 4th one...Quote:

Doesn't really matter, if it's second or third as none of them are the main show. And we all know that from WRC that all the feeder categories get much much less attention.Quote:

What exactly do You mean by ruining it? It's delusional to think it could be run in a format known from 80'.Quote:

So much going on these days behind the curtains.
Cancelled so they can launch the car after signing Ogier? Im sure that would make sense or I could be way off the mark.Quote:
