    I just wondered where the info can be found 'officially' since I cant find anything but ST Ecoboost references for the R5.on every website...
    If you can't take the word of a chap who is overseeing the build of one and who has the official documentation from M-Sport, have you thought about contacting M-Sport direct and asking them? This would clear it up once and for all and get it off your mind.

    Our hard work is paying dividends and the Fiesta WRC showed winning pace @RallySweden with five fastest stage times. We know the speed is there, and we're looking forward to seeing what's possible @RallyMexico!

    Actually M-Sport cars and drivers showed some good speed and I'm happy about it. Pity that the driver line-up is still too error prone. But hopefully they will improve. Overall a nice rally for them.

    After the horror show that was Monte they really bounced back, points scored were not representative of their performance. At least they'll have nice road positions in Mexico.

    He could be a champ last year if he didn't broke that radiator on many occasions. And a year before if he found a pace a little earlier.

    M-Sport has now proved to itself and its WRC rivals that it's still a team to be feared post-Ogier, says its boss:

    In Sweden they were.

    The only doubt I have is that the competitiveness seemed to be caused by upgrades that were introduced "for Ogier", but for various reasons delayed last year (like the engine). So question is if further upgrades will keep on coming.

    Sounds like a decent amount of car development is still happening...

    "Before the season, M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson insisted there would be no let-up in the effort or investment in performance from the team despite Ogier leaving for Citroen.

    Suninen said the Ford Fiesta's Swedish pace was testament to that policy.

    "From last year, the car is fully different," said Suninen.

    "The team worked so hard. We have much more grip generally on the car and this is coming from the [extra] downforce we got from the aero work.

    "This is where the Ford help is really showing. It's great that we keep pushing forward with the car and I really think we can fight this year."
