    Fantastic news IMHO. I hate to sound like N.O.T, but M-Sport were a sick dog team that needed to be put down. With how many years they've been in the WRC what do they have to show for it? Sod all.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    It's a huge shame Ford have pulled the plug particularly as 2013 was probably their best chance of winning the Manufacturer's and Driver's titles for about a decade. It also puts a bit of a dampener on the positive noises being made about Hyundai, VW and the new promoter coming on board. Let's just hope the promoter does their job properly and tempts a few other manufacturers back to the fold...(Toyota, Mitsubishi etc)

    I can't even begin to comprehend how you even thought of that scenario. What on earth has Matt Wilson's mythical "5 Year Plan" got to do with Ford Europe's decision to pull funding for the WRC programme!?

    ste898, I absolutely agree with your last 2 posts. Not only is the potential loss of a team nothing to celebrate but the achievements of M-Sport over many years are considerable. The sport has been priviledged to have had them involved and it is to be hoped they continue.
    Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

    What a ****ing rediculous post, go back to the hole you have been hiding in.

    Come back N.O.T, all is forgiven...

    That's very... unexpected. I know it has cross-Atlantic interest, unlike WRC, but the competition there is none I think, except private drivers Perhaps GRC is about to become something really big
