M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

OH thats really beautiful! I just dont get why RedBull sponsor that guy haha
But ahh what a lovely car! Go Msport

They don't really. I think we should see it as a subsidy for the team from the Promoter, alongside the Ford connection. It's sensible, though I'd like to think they could have provided enough to pay for another of 'their' drivers to go there, like Mikkelsen.

They offered Mikkelsen a full time drive but he chose Hyundai there are articles and interviews online about it.

Fourmaux got the BRC winners trophy at the Autosport Show. Part of the reason for him getting the drive back in the WRC 2024.

Was that just an offer of a full time drive or were they going to pay him the going rate of a Driver too? I thought Andreas was keen to be paid the market rate to do his job, which no doubt Hyundai are going to do.

Unless there’s a big upturn in registrations this year, I hope M-Sport field another driver in the BRC to ‘do a Fourmaux’. Despite his all-conquering performances last year it did at least bring some much needed gravitas to an otherwise poor championship. Unfortunately all the drivers they have on their books now are the two Rally1 drivers!

Hope Fourmaux can finally overcome his big off from RMC22 and fullfil his promise from 2021. As long as Munster has a cleaner season than Loubet last year, they will definitely be chances for a good result. Let's go.

Yeah sure they did........

Shouldn't be much of his saying about the future cars
To me the lack/zero interest of new teams is also that they keep using the same engine for soo many years.
They started in 2017 and probably keep going couple of more years..

What's the deal with the hybrid provider..?

All the rally1 fuss goes around the hybrid technology.. but why is there 0 decals/PR about the HY company on the cars and commercials/banners etc..?
Paid enough to not PR the company for a faulty system..?
