Five.. Tidemand is in one too.

3 Tidemand

5 ???

I haven't heard anything about Greensmith doing Wales in a WRC car. M-Sport could also have plans to win the WRC2Pro manufacturer's title.

Sorry... I misread that Paddon is in WRC car in Wales!

As it looks now it is possible he could even drive for free or get paid for that. (But obviously in the total package with WRC in Aus. he surely is paying)

That’s what I was thinking, that MSport would ‘use’ him for the R5 run in Wales, and ‘charge’ for the WRC run in Australia. Would make sense if Greensmith isn’t driving the R5 in Wales.

Our weapon for this weekend’s Ashley Forest Rallysprint. The team have done an amazing job with the car and we can’t wait to tackle the hill. More power + more aero = a lot of fun !
