Great list! Shame no Fiesta with a top driver but i guess that would be a big risk.

Why would that be a big risk? By not having a top driver taking part, they're not improving their reputation either. In the mean time Citroën, Hyundai and Skoda keep selling cars.

Maybe Fourmaux would've been here if he hadnt destroyed the Fiesta in Rome ?

Because if they sent Lappi or Suninen anything less than a win would look bad.

I suppose you could say it wouldn’t make things worse.

What really puzzles me is why hasn't MSport homologated any Joker yet, once it's clear the car can cope its rivals pace.

Odd the absence of Marijan Griebel replaced by Sean Johnston

MSport did announce Fiesta Rally2 yesterday, maybe that has some Jokers...

For privateer driver it´s a risk.

But Msport for sure should have sended someone...

Seems M-Sport may have already missed the boat with the progress and sales already gained the C3, i20 and Polo.

Something dramatic will have to happen soon to get them back on track with the Mk2 Fiesta.
