M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

I don't see MSport written anywhere on that car. Interesting.

I hope they get involved more.

But i have that hope for many years now, and it's always a dissapointment.

I don't think that's the livery we'll see in WRC...

[Andre Oliveira]

For sure not.

Still, I hope they keep those rims, they look pretty mean imho.

Anybody still thinks new Puma Rally1 was developed with M-Sport's (private team) money?

No. Ford Performance promised good support when new (Rally1 / Hybrid 2022) regulations were announced.

Ford wouldn't have involved more if the old regs (WRC2017) would have continued.

.

I didn't see anyone doubting that, definitely not after Goodwood this year.

What I and many others wonder is how can Ford, after using not insignificant ammount of money, be satisfied with MSport using Greensmith as #2 driver ( and to a lesser extend Breen as #1).

But hey, there is still hope they announce Tanak soon.

Ford paid and allowed the use of its PF facilities, but the mechanics and engineers at M-Sport did most the the actual work. They are the rally car manufacturer not Ford.

You don't get tired with the same story over again, huh..?

You don't get tired with the same story over again, huh..?

You don't get tired with the MSport excuses on why they run a B team over again, huh..?

..because Tanak, Ogier, Neuville and Evans have signed contracts and they don't want the all mighty Mikkelsen.
