    It is somewhat silly but people aren't always rational and various superstitions, rituals or talismans actually really help them - simply because they believe in them.
    Yeah, but I realized it was 13th after that bad day, wasn't aware of it until then.

    Autosport:
    M-Sport had originally hoped to get its latest R5 version of the Fiesta ready for the start of the season, but it will now be unavailable until the middle of 2019.

    "The FIA's homologation procedure takes longer and, being honest, we're committing more technical resource than ever to this new car," Wilson explained.

    "I want this car to follow our own trend of cars coming out of the box ready to win.

    "We wanted to look at the competition first, we wanted to see what the Volkswagen was looking like, we're putting a huge emphasis on this car within the company."

    I understand they want the Fiesta to be a winner, but have they left it too late and can it be better than the VW-MS Polo ?

    We don't know if Polo is the benchmark, do we? It looks strong, no doubt about that, but nevertheless I'd say it's too early to call it the best when it actually haven't won anything important yet.

    Also... Look at it from the following logic...

    Everytime you bring something on the market there MUST be something best on the market already. It means there is always this challenge in front of you (except if you are the first on the market and enjoy a monopoly like M-Sport did with the R5 at the beginning). Škoda came late both into S2000 and R5 market and won. VW also came late into the business yet it seems it was able to bring a great product. M-Sport sure can do that too. We'll see.

    Pfff, has any sense to comment it? I have read only first sentence and that is enough for me. M-Sport originally hoped to get latest R5 ready for start of the season, but this plan was broken almost one year ago. Since middle of last year it was sure that homologation will be in the middle 2019 or later. Car is not ready yet...

    Don`t know how it has been interpreted in the magazine, but Toyota PR cordinator said in an interview that TGR WRT Finland operations is already constructing a R5.

    Would be interesting to know which engine they picked as the base.
