I think you can presume that the manufacturers registration for homologation purposes is a given.
Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

As someone earlier mentioned the clear reason for Ford Europe not continuing was seen yesterday with the closing of the factories.
A funny fact is that the amount of money Suzuki gave to monster for their WRC campaign was bigger than what Ford gave to M-sport at the same time.

Seems there are several manufacturers that want to be in WRC but don't want to have to pay for it.
after that YouTube channel with tons of old rallying videos was 'stopped', now its time for one rallycross YouTube channel to have the same end. https://youtube.com/@rallygreat2660?feature=shared...
