It will interesting to see the livery of M-sport machine.

You are right, COD. It is very interesting to know how you managed to get the job at the factory team?!

Maybe M-Sport should concentrate on the job at hand rather than poncing around with a dozen different versions which are irrelevant for international competition

M-Sport is business first of all and have to make money. Malcolm potentially sees the local championships especially since new holomogation is expected from next year and the current cars will be obsolete for WRC anyway.

And given that Ford only ever commit the bare minimum in funds, M-Sport have to get their revenue from somewhere. There's a reason why a dozen Fiestas compete over the course of a season, but there are only ever three or four DS3s.

Was there a single customer for these non-FIA variants?

They are so eager to get the best, but salary negotiations are still ongoing so I deny to have signed anything yet. Does Lotos really have enough money to hire me

Seems M-Sport hold customer days to promote their new creations. Euan Thornburn (BTRDA champion) send this in fb:
Brilliant day at Msport testing yesterday! Was very impressed with the New Fiesta R5+ and it was a dream bonus getting the opportunity to drive the WRC RS34! Massive thank you to John Steele and Msport. The future is bright...

M-Sport should be given our gratitude for fighting on and raising the backing from new sponsors, enabling us to see so many WRC machines in the 2013 Championship...

If they had pulled out when Ford officially withdrew the series would have been dead.
