M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

Yes, it's very interesting that many of us here hardcore fans are so onedimensional when making some assumptions and discussions that they don't even consider all the smaller nuances to get bigger picture intact.

Thanks Bluuford!

I don't share the optimism.

In 2020-2021 was Fiesta on same level as I20 and Yaris? Certainly didn't look like that.

As far as I understand there might be some difference in that the previous cars had many more setup/dif options so that more performance could be gained from a lot of testing.

I like how Rich always tries to push in the fact the Ford is actually on the same level as rivals, even when Ott clearly says they are very much behind

"“Ott continues to show us what both he and the car can really do,” Millener said."

I think they have come far on gravel since mexico, but clearly still they are not second because the car is good, a lot of luck and because ott has to push the car over the limit to be competitive, and even then Toyota pretty much runs over them.

As regards M-Sport gravel car being 'a year behind', it's really because they have had to start all over again with Tanak.

He didn't have 12 months in the car like Rovanpera, Neuville, Evans etc to get used to and develop it to his liking. Plus none of the previous Puma drivers set-ups suit his driving-style.

The amazing roadbook once again https://youtu.be/lpyujqCwGHw

IMO all teams should do something like that. Even Aaron Johnston admitting he is watching them

Yeah, sure….

Waiting for Milleners comments how amazing the car still is and pointing out that others had also problems like Neuville with handbrake problem
