Re upgrades for the 2019 Fiesta:
Revisions to the rear bumper and louvres have been introduced to improve performance and durability on the aerodynamics, while new dampers and electronics increase usability. The lamp pods have evolved to incorporate adaptive lighting, and an engine upgrade delivers an appreciable increase in performance.
Team Principal, Richard Millener: “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be competitive this year. Of course we need to be realistic and know how strong the competition will be, but we’ve proven ourselves more than capable and have no intention of slowing down.
“The team have been focused on development and we’re bringing a number of upgrades to Monte-Carlo with more to come over the next six months."

I understand R5 is now a tough market and they want the new Fiesta to be the best, but this delay in bringing it out is not good at all.
By the time its ready there wont be that many buyers left that have waited about 18 months more just to buy a Ford.
The Polo may be the new benchmark, but can M-Sport build something even better, and at a good price, with less resources than VW have ? Pretty doubtful.
The C3 R5 will also catch more sales with Østberg boosting its results. And you can be sure Skoda and Hyundai wont be standing still with their cars...

In the end they aren`t cars bought from dealerships, waintinglists are there, price etc...
and what if they are right instead? in the end, it's the manufactures that bring money and value to the championship. a privateer run main class in 2027 could send the wrc down the sink...
