M-Sport Ford World Rally Teams

[Andre Oliveira]

Ford will sell Renault rebadged electric cars now

No. It's a Ford with partnership with Renault like many many makes.

I bet even if they would (again) have a suitable car for the championsip, they would not support M-Sport. I mean, how long will they make them free promotion before Wilson will say: I have enough. Let's go somewhere else. If we think about, M-Sport is like Paddon is to Hyundai. Sure they gave him chance now (again)... But what if he would not send that e-mail? Would they even considerate him being in that car? If Wilson is clever he would talk to anyone who will show some interest and have resources. And why not even to Hyundai. They are desperate for results and clearly can't figure out why. Maybe they need M-Sport to run things for them, so Cyril can focus fully on his round racing.

Maybe we can see Rally1 with other brand in UK and M-Sport Poland build the Ford lower categories? Btw, which car to sell? Puma Rally2 and Rally3? Abandon Rally4/5/6?

This is one fine idea, sell it to Malcolm; you are right - the system H has built is disfunctional, unable to provide sustainable results.

Maybe... PRS would be the ideal choice, but based in NZ isnt practical.

Rossel and Gryazin confirmed to spearhead Lancia’s WRC2 return in 2026... two names to rule out at M-Sport.

[Dimitris]

I dont think they were ever in consideration

Why pay at M-Sport when you can get oaid at Lancia and be ready for 2027 / 2028?

[Tom206wrc]

Not a very attractive irish line up for 2026
Let's see what Jon Armstrong will be able to achieve though...

[rallyfiend]

Sesks will get announced eventually.

Probably Munster too. Just for limited programmes.

People want more Rally1 cars. Well. You got it.
