M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

I think a driver that is slower but gives good feedback is way better than a fast driver who doesn't know what he's talking about.
A story about Francois Duval from the book of Stephane Prevot comes into my mind. He was very fast without a doubt, but when driving for Citroën he didn't even know the difference between under and oversteer...

Why everybody is so certain that development on new car will be on these drivers?

I am not (and I don't think anyone else is either).

But I am worried if it will be only those 3, off course that alone does not mean it can't be a great car.

Mikkelsen could be an option... but Skoda

Totally agree now it’s put like this. I liked WRC car, hated Rally1, but like R1 car. That’s what I’ll go with.
Thank you.

The problem with that is that until 1.1.2022 R1 is a low-level FWD car...it's gonna sound weird and cause misunderstandings. That's why they didn't call them R1, R2, .... but Rally1, Rally2...

I know it's not the most convenient way...GR1, GR2....? No, wait, that's done already as well. RG1? That also means something else.

I’ll be fine - I have a pretty decent ability to forget, so R1 car it is

then someone says "Remember when Ingram drove the R5 car?". Do you think of the Skoda Fabia or the Renault Clio?

I wouldn’t have any historical interest in Ingram whatsoever. Still happy with R1 car.

There will be not Fiesta R1... will be Rally1. Stop abreviate what will not be abreviate.
