Good for M-sport, drivers and fans!
But, Ford going to "marketing" a model they don't sell anymore?
Or have Ford a new model in pipeline, in some years to come?

They even didn’t added the new facelift Fiesta to Rally cars.

So what next for M-Sport after the “years to come”? What then?
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

With this announcement it feels even more that Ford doesn't care what is happening in WRC. For a car brand it makes no sense to promote a car that is not available in their lineup. Today it is okay-ish to drive with them but in "years to come". Seriously?

Rumoured to be the Puma.

Below WRC all those cars are for 'customer racing' purposes. Originally Posted by flat_right

With Ford's difficult financial position and the switch to an all-electric lineup of road cars, it makes sense to hold fire before committing to a new Rally2 car. Also the possible change in regulations to hybrid is another factor.

I thought the same, they knew Fiesta's destiny and they changed for rally1 with headlights from Puma on fiesta chassis. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

Yup, only the prototype showed in Goodwood was Fiesta that looked like Puma, but final car is something else... Still probably similar tho
