M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Good to hear Evans positive despite the TDC ending and the team has certainly provided some good car development.


“Perhaps it’s not the result we wanted, but the pace is there and I think we can all take confidence from that moving forward," he said.

"We’ve had a pretty strong start to the season so far and I’ve been really happy with the Fiesta on all four of the opening rounds. The guys back at M-Sport are working exceptionally hard and making improvements all the time. I see no reason why we can’t continue this form into the coming events.”

I'm so excited for Elfyn, he's really impressed me so far. After 2017 he was really in the spotlight to prove he only won and nearly won because of the Dmacks, and it looked like it was over after last year. But he's been quick, consistent and confident over the last rallies and im excited to see him win once this year.

how is it possible without Ford backing?
Ogier didnt leave because of NOT enough resources for development?

[Tarmop]

Well, Ogier himself wasn`t cheap for sure, atleast when you compare him to the current and previous lineups. Also many of these developments were probably made last year already. The aero, which today seems to work just fine with SACHS dampers, something that was introduced last year in Finland and didn`t work properly at all.

Plus they have said, that they continue to boost their performance to get another titlecontender in their team for 2020.

[AnttiL]

I must have said it elsewhere as well but there's a clear difference from Elfyn and Teemu of 2018 to those of 2019. This year they have had more testing days and more freedom to set the car up to their liking, instead of merely fine-tuning a champion's settings.

[deephouse]

M-Sport have extra 10 mio or more to spend for development now when Ogier leave.

And how much less Red Bull sponsor money?

[spiderem]

silly season, M-Sport to have a fast and reliable car all 2019 and convince Tanak to come back for 2020 after him being fed up of the puncture on the Yaris.

[Tarmop]

That was Wilsons idea yes, "Ott or someone similar" he said, i believe.

Nobody "similar" is free for 2020. (meaning Ogier and Neuville).

There are drivers that won multiple rallies and some of them will likely be available (Latvala, Meeke, Mikkelsen), but I am not sure any of them fits that kind of comment atm. (each for their own reason)
