M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[dimviii]

But M-Sport is the only private team in the WRC. Hyundai and Toyota WRT's havent been affected like they have been with their huge factory budgets.

Msport activities isnt just participating at wrc.
They sell parts/cars last 25 years worldwide.And as you can see,even without ford backing,they didnt bankrupt.Not only they didnt bankrupt,but they could afford millions pounds for tracks,new facilities etc.
In my country,they still buy parts from msport for 1997 wrc escorts.
Msport will be at wrc next 20 years.Hyundai and Toyota will not.
Really tired to listen about the skint private wrc team for so many years.

They are involved in so many series and levels it makes them more exposed to the downturn.

You hate them, we get it - but most dont and are very glad to have them in our sport.

I have to defend dimwii here as I would almost take it as a complement towards M-sport and not as an insult.. They are the only ones in the WRC who actually needs the WRC and therefore the most likely ones to stay in the sport, at some point Toyota and Hyundai will take their money elsewhere, that`s equally sure.
Regardless of opinions it`s great that M-sport are in the sport

Effect on M-Sport of WRCTurkey and Ypres:

Turkey’s decision to move forward by one week from September 24-27 to 17-20 will allow the Ypres Rally to run from October 2-4.

M-Sport team principal Richard Millener told DirtFish: “We’re pleased that we’re getting the chance to compete on these events – as a company, we need to go rallying right now.

“But at the same time, and as we’ve discussed previously, Turkey to Ypres will be a challenge logistically. We’ll just have to get on with it and find a way to make it work.”

Turkey’s move means there will be three rallies in four weeks, going from Rally Estonia (September 4-6) to Ypres Rally (October 2-4).

Millener explained the team will re-prepare the cars twice on the road in this period, once after the Tartu-based event which re-starts the WRC and the second time in Belgium after Turkey and before Ypres.
