Msport does not insure their cars, they take the risk themself.
even with a burned car every couple of years, they still save a huge amount of money this way.

And I could be wrong, but most motorsports insurance does not cover fires
Quite interesting.
If you rent a rallycar, insurance is mandatory. (in all those companies which I know, not by any rule)
i once heard it would cost about 8 to 10% of the value of the car per rally. i have never insured a wrc car, but that seems about right to me.
anyway, in the case of msport where they produce the cars and the parts them self, it will always be cheaper not to have insurance.
that, or you have to make a deposit close to the value of the car.
The loss of a WRC car to the team was heart-breaking.
Perhaps the only benefit of this COVID-19 and the probable reduction in rallies is that M-Sport's budget may stretch to the remaining events.
Benefit??? Rallying is not important, so many people/sponsors will invest far less (or even stop it completely). ;) Sales will drop, and the existing cars aren't going to need any service and parts in the next few months... I know you want to see the positive sides of everything, but this time it isn't there.
