No.

Ford will present the livery/new car most likely in the autosport show that takes place in January in Birmingham.

[Andre Oliveira]

Exactly, M-Sport choose Autosport Motorshow

My comment is about Ford in general.Not the WRC team.

Then you should not post general garbage in a WRC news and rumours thread.

A new day - some new lunacy from the FIA.

Jarmo Mahonen in Motorsport News is saying the FIA are considering making some WRC events SHORTER in a bid to add more rallies to the championship.

So roughly 250km in one and a half days. Welcome to the WRC! The pinnacle of the sport.

I'm hoping/assuming this will be another in the long list of stupid ideas that gets shot down. No idea how cutting 100km off the distance will really save anyone any money once the teams and cars are already there.


He's also broaching the possibility of event rotation in the Asia Pacific region in a bid to get in more of the interested rallies. Although he said it wouldn't be year on year rotation.

god why do they persist?, what's the point of cutting the period of the rally if it takes ages to get there, not to mention the budget. I mean if your'e going to Japan then isn't it more practical to have a 3 day event??? it's like 2003-2004 when they switched to 2 cars team for 16 events....instead of 14, again if your'e going to 16 events you might aswell bring 3 cars instead of 2.
