M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

Given the rumours about Toyota working on an R5 car, a mixed WRC/WRC2(Pro, if it survives) campaign in 2020 would work nicely for Kalle...

And less significantly, Katsuta could be accommodated as a Toyota driver too.

If they would have an R5 car ready for 2020, we would know already.

Craig Breen implied Abu Dhabi will return in 2020 and thanked them (SKAQ) for their support in getting him into a WRCar. Maybe he hopes for a later 2019 chance in a 3rd C3 funded by them ...

Didn't you just contradict yourself? They are returning in 2020 so how would they be involved in Breen's program already in 2019?

I just meant possible support for Breen, not the whole team.

So a year off from supporting motorsport means they can still support Breen?

"Maybe he hopes for a later 2019 chance in a 3rd C3 funded by them" Which part of "maybe" is so hard to understand?

Maybe Unicorn WRT will give him a seat for 2019.

And since when speculating hasn't been allowed here?

Last week Breen said he was still confident of a WRC drive later this year.

Where else is more likely than in a Citroen and why did he thank the Sheikh ? And helping Breen is not sponsoring the whole team...

If you are referring to Absolute Rally, it's not like he mentioned Abu Dhabi without asking. Of course he has to be polite because there's very little bridges to be burned, although inside he's probably mad at them for taking away the financial support that cost him the WRC seat for this year.

I don't see how supporting Breen would revert Abu Dhabi's decision not to support WRC this year, since they announced returning in 2020. https://twitter.com/F_Gustavsson/sta...03632538234881 And it may not be with Citroen since they basically waved goodbye to them. https://twitter.com/khalidbinfaisal/...99911400574977

At this point I would see Breen doing at most some rounds in an M-Sport Fiesta and/or maybe a few WRC2 outings.
