M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[Fast Eddie WRC]

its not strange,Loubet has more potential

Quite possibly but Greensmith has a long history there and pumped a lot of cash into M-Sport.

The split seems very amicable so we'll have to wait and see the full reasons.

Formaux and Munster in WRC2 with M-Sport

Not only Fourmeaux, but also Munster has entered at Jänner Rallye in Austria, 05.01.-07.01.2023

Mikkelsen says to parcferme.no that he is not in any discussions with
M-Sport regarding Puma in MC or Sweden.

He is still working on getting some sort of program together for 2023, but has no firm plan as of now, he says.

Too bad, would have liked to see him in a Puma!

Especially bad news for the championship in terms of average number of Rally1 cars per event.
People are complaining about only 10 Rally1 cars in Monte-Carlo (including Serderidis) but, with the current rumors, we could have a lot of rallies (4?) with only 8. And a global average of only 9.

At the moment,
Toyota has 3.5 cars in average for the season
Hyundai 3
M-Sport has only 2 official drivers
Serderidis will make 4
And we can expect Bertelli to do 2 as usual.

Well, meaning an average of 9 cars per event (including 0.5 «*very*» gentleman driver with Bertelli and Serderidis). The lowest number for the main category for a long time.

Let’s expect one driver or 2 could rent a half-season with M-Sport and/or Toyota but I hardly see who considering all the programs already set.

Serderidis announced he Will be the 3rd driver for MSport with his Puma in Monte Carlo, Mexico, Sardegna and Safari Rally.

For sure Mikkelsen would be much better than Loubet, Greensmith and Serderidis!

Serderidis beings funding which is not the case with Mikkelsen. With Gus I think everything changed when TGR released one car for rent for a half of the rallies. I think they believe to show more pace in Yaris which IMHO doesn't bring him any factory seat so pointless to try unless they are there to get different experience for their money.

Greensmith is not a part of M-Sport's roster next year.

From M-Sport's perspective: Mikkelsen doesn't bring them a world title. And doesn't bring money. The two other drivers will bring money. So in that sense those guys are better for M-Sport.

Well, certainly he will get manu points, the way pointscoring system is constructed.

They don't have to nominate three drivers. I think we saw this case in Acropolis 2021 when Serderidis was the third Fiesta WRC but not running for manu points.
