    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.

    Problem with Fiesta Rally2 came before Puma Rally1. Problem is lack of interest in Rally2 project, from beginning there were lot of mistakes and understimation the situation...

    The same applies, previously they were more focused on the Fiesta WRC.

    With Fiesta R5 or previously S2000 it was not so bad. Believe me, not so big success of latest Fiesta R5 is not related to WRC project, but understimation of the situation.
