    Ford pulled out from WRC after the 2012 season. Having only the badge and some ''support'' isn't proper support. They will of course do evertyhing to keep Ford cars, but if the things will not sort, they would need to pull out or start talking to potential new partners.

    Also I don't get it why they didn't do new Rally2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 car and keep their business high and rather put every single resource in Puma and hoping Ford would come back, because it didn't and will not. Now it's kinda too late and I think that even upgrading their old Fiesta will not making them miracles. So it's part their fault also to drain their resources.

    There wasn't / isn't a suitable (Ford) road car after the Fiesta. They already said the Puma is too tall for rallying as a Rally2/3/4/5.

    The Puma Rally1 on a spaceframe was scaled to work and a WRC27 Puma would work too. I think this will happen in due course.
