    No, strong car engine can help to be on same speed like drivers with cars of other brands, especially on types of stages where engine performance is crucial...

    I'm talking about why many drivers prefer other cars over the Fiesta. They want a strong engine over anything.

    It is more things together. But mainly - Fiesta is slower than Skoda, Hyundai or Citroen. And other cars are making development, M-Sport nothing. So difference is bigger and bigger...

    Maybe he better changed car, because his stage times show that the Fiesta is not able to follow the other makes.

    Yes. I don't know if it is the driver or the car that is slow, but Jennings' best stage time in this rally was 9th...:

    Jennings is longer at the top level but this also makes the point that the Fiesta is still fine for the lower levels. Too many ordinary guys are jumping on the Polo, i20, C3-bandwagon after a top driver wins an event in one.

    And Matt Edwards matched the Polo and i20 of Devine and Moffett on a recent Irish event in a Fiesta Rally2 after not driving a Rally2 car since last July...
