STARD, an entity led by Manfred Stohl, had already confirmed its presence in the World Championship of Rallycross for 2019, with a Ford Fiesta which will be entrusted to Janis Baumanis, but the Austrian structure today formalized the support of Ford Performance.
“Due to the FIA technical regulations, the basis of the car has an important influence on the development of the racing car. It is therefore very important to make the right choice at the start. » comments Michael Sakowicz, CEO of STARD.
The main new features will be the engine block, shock absorbers, roll bar and general aerodynamics. “The support from Ford Performance is definitely a game changer for us, continues Sakowicz.
We can apply processes in development and operation and support our customers in ways that would not be possible without manufacturer support. »
Remember that Ford Performance had for a time supported the entry of Ford Focus RS RXs from Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing.
