M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

Rich Millener said today that they are looking to give more young drivers a foot in the door with a Rally1 drive.

I think that's mostly the WRC Promoter plus sponsors paying for it, but nice for M-Sport too to get extra coverage.

Plus it can make a great addition having other new faces creating a buzz at events they feel confident on.

a lot of people claimed that the times were changed, that youngsters and one-off local drivers could never challenge the regulars. They have all been proven wrong by sesks now.

Maybe a lot more local people should get a chance. imagine if hyundai had hired sesks her instead of lappi.

Sesks is 2023 ERC runner-up, who lost only to Paddon. Most countries hosting WRC rounds don't have local heros on that level.

One-offs for local drivers is cool idea but they wouldn't be challenging regulars too much. Look at Alberto Heller in Chile last year.

We have seen M-Sport and Hyundai doing this stuff for a couple of seasons, even Kalle is doing his own stuff behind the scenes, so nothing new, IT will be interesting to see what the WRC come up with !!!,

msport sold a non hybrid rally1 to someone in indonesia - or something like this
SEE? REMOVE THE HYBRIDS! Hyundai is quitting anyway and RedBullMediaHouse is seeling the series, whatever. QUIT THE HYBRIDS!! NOOOOW

Or make it open for full ICE, Hybrids, and EVs.

New side air intakes tasted in PET Acropolis 2024.

I think those were tested earlier as well but not run on a rally yet.

So it looks something between Toyota's solution and Hyundais solution, not completely gone but not as big.
