If M-Sport can do it then Toyota GR have no excuses.Quote:

M-Sport has a whole department for lower-class cars, TGR has only the WRC department.Quote:

For M-Sport sake I hope their Rally3 is as fast as others.
M-Sport is alive from selling cars. The works teams are not. They don't need to sell any private cars to exist.Quote:

Great job M-Sport. If the other Manu's dont follow soon then all the more sales for M-Sport and they'll deserve them.
For the future of rallying I hope they think of more than just themselves. Plus sales of private R5/ Rally2 cars hasnt hurt them.Quote:

What's the link to the MiG? Someone just showing off their photoshop skills...? :D

It's a historical reference. The logo on the side of the plane belongs to the No. 303 Squadron that fought in the Battle of Britain during World War II. The squadron was formed by Polish pilots and they claimed the largest number of aircraft shot down of all fighter squadrons engaged in the Battle of Britain. They shot down 126 German aircrafts.Quote:

M-Sport needs to rush because their best sale option, on which they are absolutely dependent, is to be the first and sell quickly before other and often better cars arrive and by being first they can also take various one make cups or support championship etc. The real manufacturer teams usually take more time because they can and because for them top performance is much more importnant than early sales.Quote:

And there is one more point. If others were rushing and taking part of M-Sport business it could mean that M-Sport may leave for another sport. In the end it's good for us if M-Sport is given some business everytime because that's what keeps them involved.
Ah, I hadn't made the connection with the Squadron! Though I was familiar with the Polish having served in the RAF, as their contribution has been better recognised here in recent times. Nice.Quote:

I think that Peugeot and Renault could be the next ones with rally3 cars, as they have Clio and 208 models for rally4.
Tom Kristensson is going to give Ford Fiesta Rally3 its rally debut in Italy. Look at no. 57 on the entry list for Sanremo:

If Renault plans to go 4wd, I guess they could be next out with Rally3.Quote:

Ford Fiesta Rally3 with Hungarian driver László Zoltán is on the entry list of Croatia Rally (#67):

The coming few WRC and ERC rallies will exiting for many drivers and teams from national series. They will be studying the results carefully, to figure out what speeds the Fiesta will do on gravel and asphalt.
If you look at early rental prices btw rally2 and 3, it is quite a difference per SS km.

Rally Sanremo was not the only event with Ford Fiesta Rally3 on the entry list this weekend. Lukasz Byskiniewicz drove the first ever event with his new car on Tech-Mol Rally in Poland. He was 5th overall - slower than Rally2 cars, but faster than all Rally4 machines. The concept of a car that fits between Rally2 and Rally4 seems to work.

Both german teams
This week the results of Fiesta Rally3 cars are not very spectacular. Two cars finished in the 27th and 29th position in Hungary. Probably both drivers were not very fast. They were slower than some group N and Rally4 cars.
https://www.ewrc-results.com/results...ko-rally-2021/
Yeah, according to ewrc-results it looks like both are more like gentleman drivers.
Daniel Nunes in Portugal will be a good performance mesure.
