    Did Wilson say that M-Sport are considering retiring from WRC on the rally forum tonight?
    Rumours are floating around that they are, i missed most of it. Just heard him saying at the end how he could possibly leave this sport after the drama in Turkey...

    Here's the source https://www.rallye-magazin.de/wrc/ar...g-von-m-sport/
    I don't think he will retire though... He will find a way

    Fascinating interview with Mr Wilson.

    During Turkey, a new rear bumper on each Fiesta WRC at each service stop, £9,000 each. Yeh, no messing about, this is an expensive sport.

    Only sold 2x new WRC cars and seen fewer drivers hiring the new machines. Business is tough it appears. A real shame.

    My interpretation of his comments is though, that he will retire personally from the WRC team, not necessarily the whole M-Sport team leaving.

    Bertelli, Al-Rajhi and many others have money also. Arabs/Middle-East, some private collectors (Kankkunen?), Tommi Mäkinen maybe would like to buy one...

    What about the one Bertelli drove last year in Argentina? Could he have bought it?

    Used in Wales by Suninen this weekend. https://www.ewrc-results.com/carinfo...c-17/?car=1660

    There`s no mark of another privatelly owned car apart from Ostbergs, but i wonder, maybe OMSE`s and Ford performance`s joint venture in WRX is based on a WRC? If Block had one, we would have seen it already.
