Armin Kremer will drive a 2017 Fiesta in Germany

Alongside the Ford Fiesta WRC official M-Sport de Sébastien Ogier, Ott Tänak and Elfyn Evans, and after the commitments of Mads Ostberg and Lorenzo Bertelli, a new driver will evolve on the latest addition to the Dovenby Hall workshops.

On the occasion of his Rally from Germany (August 18-20), Armin Kremer prendra place au volant de la WRC dernière génération arborant l’ovale bleu. Habitué des épreuves en WRC-2 ces dernières années avec la Skoda Fabia R5, l’Allemand devra s’adapter à la différence de puissance, lui dont le dernier rallye avec une voiture de la catégorie reine remonte à l’Allemagne 2004 sur une Toyota corolla

« I am delighted and proud, admits Kremer. It is an honor and a great pleasure for me, but also a huge challenge to compete with the same car in Germany as the four-time world champion Sébastien Ogier.
 
I will try to translate the confidence given by M-Sport and Malcolm Wilson onto the road. It's still too early to think about a result, but I'm sure that with the support of the M-Sport drivers and engineers, I will quickly get used to the Ford Fiesta WRC and find the optimal settings for me. »

Kremer has twice finished in the top 10 in a WRC round, in Monte Carlo and in Germany last year.
