M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[dimviii]

It's not like M-Sport wouldn't have a car for Lappi in the headquarters even if there was a WRC event this weekend. It's just a huge financial loss.

i dont think that a loss of a wrc,is a ''huge financial loss'' for a company such M sport.

Team Principal Rich Millener confessed it was too early to tell what had caused the fire but said the impact of losing a World Rally Car would be deeply felt by M-Sport.

“Well we don’t really know much to be honest, we’re still in a bit of shock to be fair,” Millener said. “Losing a car is never nice to see for any team but that’s going to ask some serious questions of us for the remainder of the year.”

“It’s no secret that this loss will really have a big impact on M-Sport – and we don’t know when the championship will resume which makes the situation really difficult right now. But despite all of this and all of the repercussions, the most important thing is that everyone is safe and unharmed.” Millener added.

yes m sport is a small garage, that with a loss of a inhouse build car, will drive to cancel their wrc program.
really laughable

To be fair, Millener may have been talking with the wider circumstances in which this happened in mind. Losing an €800,000 car is one thing, losing an €800,000 car just ahead of losing a large part of your business' income (service and sales) for the foreseeable future is another.

for how much do they sell those fiestas,

if they actually cost them 800k to build, they would have to sell them for over a million.

It must be some internal parts possible to be reused in that car, isn´t it? I was thinking of engine, gearbox inner parts.

Or was it a total waste of that car? Anyone?

Back in the day when a Toyota Corolla WRC burned completely, there was nothing else that remained visibly intact except the titanium parts (damper topmounts, propshaft etc.) but to my knowledge today titanium is mostly banned

nothing to reuse
