Rally2 (ex-R5) News

It needs more than a joker can fix

hard to tell, but they announced a big development program coming this year.

If MSport have pinpointed and corrected the issues their Rally2 Fiesta has on gravel/snow in the last joker, then sales will jump very quickly.

I hope they have fixed it, we need all Rally2 cars to be competitive!

Without someone actually demonstrating the effects of those upgrades (and all the Fiesta regulars departing to other cars isn't doing that for me), they won't believe they work. It is very difficult to get over a broken reputation in RC2 even if many/most of the issues are fixed (see DS3 R5 or 208 T16).
Also, I have heard that due to Brexit it is quite difficult and more expensive to get parts for the Fiestas, but maybe someone with more knowledge could deny or confirm this.

Hermann Neubauer switches from Fiesta to Fabia Rally2 RS from Kresta Racing at least for Jänner Rallye.

Andrien Formaux will stay in Fiesta Rally2 and compete in Janner Rallye too:

M-Sport needs some top results in the Fiesta Rally2 to convince any potential buyers. Sadly even if the car is substantially developed it has a tough fight on its hands vs the existing competition, never mind the new Fabis RS...

M-Sport was promising development, but did almost nothing. There is no progress...

The best drivers are in others. No official national Ford teams too. It is lost.

Fabia Rally2 evo -> 2nd generation
Fabia RS Rally2 -> 3rd generation
