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.

It looks a little bit like a daughter of Ford Fiesta and Fiat Bravo :)
The big announcement from Ford Motor Company tonight at 2100 CET, is it about rallying (WRC - Ogier, etz) or about electrifying raods for vehicles and new Fiesta only?

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....
