M-Sport Ford with improvements and ambitions in Türkiye

Team M-Sport Ford veut se relancer en Turquie (18-20 septembre). La formation fondé Malcolm Wilson espère avoir mangé tout son pain noir sur les pistes rapides de l’Estonie voici deux semaines, et a travaillé en vue des chemins cassants turcs.

Indeed, the three Ford Fiestas WRC will benefit from new transmission and suspension elements. Reinforced protection panels will be installed to prevent the intrusion of sharp rocks. Finally, the fans will gain volume to guarantee optimal cooling.

Richard Millener, Team Principal, believes that a “ good result is largely achievable in Türkiye », due to the terrain being more winding than Estonia. However, the Fiesta has never found its way to the podium during the last two editions.

The Briton also recalls the hard work done by his employees. “I must congratulate our team of engineers, technicians, truck drivers and logistics coordinators. Traveling from Estonia to Turkey in such a short time was not easy, and everyone responded. »

M-Sport Ford's best asset may well be the Esapekka Lappi-Janne Ferm pair, second in 2019 (with Citroën). “It would be great to continue our momentum, indicates the Finnish pilot. It's a test where you have to use your head, know when to attack, when to hold back. It's a delicate balance to strike between speed and endurance. »
