The Puma testing car seems to have quite a lot of empty space in the wheelarches for tarmac spec car.
Could be for aero reasons.Quote:

It might sound counter intuitiv, but a lot of aero stuff does.Quote:

Right, it is possibly the less bad solution. I also thought about regulations when I saw it. If they're able to use it, it's probably because FIA allowed them and other teams agreed, or... Hope this does not cause any controversy in the futureQuote:

Hyundai has much less space everywhere, but their final bodyshell might look quite different.
If you combine all the rumors, they are probably on course for 6 Pumas by the end of the year.

This is super cool.
Yes & if it keeps the factory busy & motivated then it’s a good move. I see it has just been motd in late Oct !Quote:

It's promotion to launch M-Sport Special Vehicles (MS-SV) which is their latest department of the M-Sport umbrella. Basically you can order a custom car from them, like this one.

BTW, this reminds me of the story a few years back where someone on this forum claimed that M-Sport as a rally team will be renamed as MS-RT...when will it happen? :D
My M-Sport Supporters Club card (and baseball cap) were emblazoned with 'MS-RT'.
I asked why and they said it also stood for M-Sport Rally Team.
Maybe the person replying to you has not known, but MS-RT is M-Sport Road Technologies and they've been a "sponsor" of the WRC team for many years, so it's likely that the "sponsorship" has applied to the supporter club as well. Like you can imagine having "Shell Hyundai WRC Team Supporter Club" or "Microsoft Toyota Gazoo Racing Fan Club"Quote:

Due to the incredible support received throughout the 2017 season, M-Sport are launching a Supporters’ Club to welcome the team’s most passionate fans and friends to the M-Sport family.
To reward the team’s most dedicated supporters, the newly-formed “MS-RT Supporters’ Club” will keep fans in the loop with all of the latest news and offers.
I asked my buddy who works for M-Sport and he said MS-RT means road technologies and they like to print that on clothes because it's targeted at normal consumers.
But it's not a big deal, you can keep believing if you want, let's not continue this further.
My last word - MS-RT is the only thing on the Supporters Club card -Quote:

Please stop it allready. Nobody really cares
Long interview with Craig Breen and Paul Nagle:

Loads of info on their careers, the Citroen days with Meeke, Hyundai and Adamo, Rally GB N.Ireland, plus the 2022 prep for Monte with the Puma.
Notice the date at the end.

From this video
Way Ahead of everyone else in Testing .
Because they sacrificed this season, this is by no means a surprise. Everyone here now are stating obvious things. But this doesn't not necessarily mean that the Puma is the fastest de facto. Although they have the most experience with the car everything else remains to be seen.

Decent podcast that with Breen and Nagle, regarding the new car. Can tell he will miss the current 17 cars though...
Ofcourse we know a little of what went on with Citroen and certain arrogance/mistakes in design and development, but they both really bit their tongue. Especially Nagle, saying he won't comment further until he's retired as it would cause as much controversy as the Max/Lewis F1 finale....

To celebrate producing 1 million vehicles at our Craiova plant, we invited the @MSportLtd and @FordPerformance Puma Hybrid Rally1 car to the party. Turns out, the Puma was a bit of a party-wrecker and wanted to misbehave. The resulting film is much fun!
Compare and contrast ... ;)

I don't see MSport written anywhere on that car. Interesting.
nice in blue!
video is like from Fast and Furious movie :D
ps, no MS-RT logo either.. maybe under the car.
The Ford Performance livery looks good on the Puma. Won't be used for the season, obviously. Ah, and if anyone was still looking on confirmation that Fourmaux continues, here it is.
Official presentation livery of Ford it is.
