Well they use Volvo engines in TCR. Sure, it's 2.0, but they can downscalle it same way as Skoda, Fabia also uses engine bassed on 2.0.

does the new rules have something like "if you build a wrc27 car you gotta build at least 10"?
i remember reading something but I couldnt find the article again. probably from dirt fish?
so if toyota is building the new car, they gotta build 10 so others can buy, right? (if that rule exsit, no idea if im imagining things now)

No worries about them. They will run 6 of them in championship, probably 2 for test purposes, 1 for backup and 1 for their museum. And there you got it 10.

ho says they need to only have one brand's vehicles. Prodrive did have various projects... And having working with Dacia recently in Dakar, they partnered also with Defender for 2026 campaign. It's just that M-Sport have a legacy with Ford and it's somehow unexpected if they will leave it behind and go where the money is. Am I saying this for years, if Ford doesn't care, someone else will.

It's not just legacy. Every rally car bearing Ford's badge built in the last 30 years is being serviced by M-Sport. They're still providing parts and supporting Ford rally cars all around the world. You can't just leave that business behind. Even Prodrive came back to support Subaru rally cars through Heritage programs.
