M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[ESTR]

Not necessarily if Loeb join Citroen team for full season. And I have a strong feeling that this could be true. Especially if he will not start winning events in rallycross this year and no Dakar programme next year he will surely come back.

NO.

Ogier is way faster, totally.
Some rallies Loeb could be as fast but overally Ogier and few others are faster than Loeb.

But are they smarter? And, how much smarter? decisively? enough to matter?

i wouldnt be so sure.As we saw from last year,things can change very fast(Ogier 2017 vs 2018)
We cant judge a full year entrance,with just randoms entries with limited car knowledge.We dont know how would be evolved Loeb at full championship.
About the last sentence,we saw Ogier straggling all year at 2017 performance wise with a new car,but we saw instant speed from Loeb with a new car,and not so good ar gravel at least.

A test was performed.
There is no mention of any modifications / refinements being made by Foord Performance as a result of the test.
I am struggling to see any reason they can claim (imply) some share in the Tour de Corse victory.
What value was added by way of improvements ?

They wouldnt give out any detailed info anyway.

But M-Sport have a good car already. If FP did find any aero improvements they would probably work best on tarmac (like Corsica) where there is more consistancy than on bumpy gravel.

Would not expect any specific details. I a just surprised we have not even seen any generic statements referring in broad terms to what changes or improvements were achieved/identified. Maybe something has been mentioned and I missed it perhaps

I think I heard on All Live that Suninen would be doing Rally Deutschland on a WRC car.

Anyway, super disappointed in his performance this year, not even decent stage times. He has to learn, yes, but seems like a shadow of his explosive pace in 2017 Poland and Finland or the steady results of WRC2

Taking it steady, reminiscent of Evans in 2014 with the approach to get to the finish, which is ok enough. But indeed it would be nice to see him have a bit of a go at least.
