Given Ford have just announced they will not manufacture any ICE passenger cars in Europe in less than 9 years time, I think the chances of them channelling more funding into the WRC programme anytime soon are pretty slim.

Not if the hybrids get turned into full EVs in 3 years.

Agreed, not so sure that's likely to happen though.

Ford is a dead end for M-Sport, and as been for a decade now. The sooner they realise that the better.

He could certainly start some events with them, why not.
So far in Polo he has same speed or better than with Fabia..... i20 clearly didn't work for him. Imo he would be faster than Greensmith straight away.
The main long-term problem for him is as I mentioned before consistency in staying on the road.
In case he pays at MSport I hope for their sake that he pays by part destroyed and not a fixed sum per rally.Last edited by mknight; 22nd February 2021 at 12:36.

The issue, as always, is money. All the M-Sport drivers need to bring some support. And the Solbergs (like Mikkelsen) dont believe they should pay to drive. The clash with Monster Energy wouldn't...
