M-Sport has rolled out a raft of updates for the Fiesta Rally2 this season and there are still more to come, including further upgrades to the engine.
“We have changed a lot of things on the car,” Fourmaux explained. “We had the new subframe last year, then we had the gearbox, rear diff, anti-roll bar, dampers, engine. And now we have another engine upgrade coming.
“We have been working quite a lot, I have been helping this and I’ve been pleased to work with developing it and showing the car’s performance. We have been able to show good pace and it’s a good team effort, I would say.”

That's good news, but I'm afraid they need beeter drivers in WRC2 or ERC to show those improvements.

It's been a double-whammy for M-Sport with having to spend on developing the Rally1 Puma and then hardly selling any; and this also led to neglecting the Fiesta Rally2 and losing sales of that too.
