Just to clarify, the local residents are considered about the noise of the new M-Sport test track. When you put it like that, I thought it was worse.

Nothing's better than waking up to the glorious sound of a Fiesta WRC, it's only a matter of time before all residents fall in love with it and drop their complaints... Or not.

Apologies, I should have posted with some additional context.

In the UK, we've seen noise restrictions added to venues like Thruxton which limits the number of events etc. they can hold, so hopefully this is a small discussion resolved quickly.

Gus Greensmith interview

He explained that M-Sport had installed performance-related bonus drives into his contract for the coming year.

“I like that, because it’s based on merit,” he said. “I have to earn anything extra.”

@MSportLtd
Great to have extra support from Eibach Racing this weekend. Their performance springs are designed to excel in the most extreme environments motorsport has to offer - and that's why we continue to place our trust in them !

Wilson is not happy with Suninen's performance. Wilson says Suninen drives too aggressively and sideways, just like Jari-Matti. Wilson expects a good result in Mexico, since Ogier was able to win there with that car.

Very rare to hear something like this, teamboss criticizing drivers style...

While I don't necessarily disagree, Lappi has seemingly been even more sideways whole weekend. Another thing is off course that last year Suninen was leading here, did he change so much to worse over one year?

Hard to expect much from Suninen in Mexico when he didn't finish a single normal stage there last year. Talk about putting driver under pressure.

You can't compare last year, totally different conditions and starting order etc
