Having used 2016 to prepare and still they dont have a full compliment of new cars... even poor little M-Sport have got 4 cars running already !!

Actually, they have 5.

They have a dedicated test car.

The cars always fly back and forth, so there's no reason not to add a new car to the freight to Argentina...

MAybe they're waiting on the third car to see if there's some problems with the current 2...

Car stats

If they said that they will have 3 cars in Portugal then it will be Portugal

What a joke a one of the best teams in the history of the WRC is looking like right now.

its not ironic at all.
given stick for other reasons,not because they don't know how to build a good car.
I was from these few people here that I said plenty of times that fiesta was a good car,when everybody was talking for ''less budget'' from manufacturers,that cause to cant build a top car.

The M-Sport 'class' EstWRC & I were talking about was their ability to produce several 2017 cars when they were the last to develop one. This is again showing their expertise as an overall operation run by Malcolm Wilson. It has nothing to do with whether their cars are good or not.

One really has to wonder how seriously ( in terms of money) are they taking it. Speed and handling issues are one thing, but then there are the other things.

Meeke crashed at the pre-monte test and destroyed the diffuser, as a result they did consequent (4?) testing days without it because they did not have an extra spare. In some article it said that they "saved" them for monte and now they don't even enter 3rd car in Mexico (even old one). Add the "interesting" choice of drivers after all 3 VW drivers.
Surely with this kind of effort they have 0 hope of fighting for manu. title and with this kind of speed/driver reliability drivers title is also close to impossible.
