    It's been a double-whammy for M-Sport with having to spend on developing the Rally1 Puma and then hardly selling any; and this also led to neglecting the Fiesta Rally2 and losing sales of that too.

    Problem with Fiesta Rally2 came before Puma Rally1. Problem is lack of interest in Rally2 project, from beginning there were lot of mistakes and understimation the situation...

    The same applies, previously they were more focused on the Fiesta WRC.

    With Fiesta R5 or previously S2000 it was not so bad. Believe me, not so big success of latest Fiesta R5 is not related to WRC project, but understimation of the situation.

    I still find it surprising how awful it looks in all black, but in the TGR livery the proportions all look pretty good
