M-Sport Ford opens the ball Thursday with the decoration of Fiesta WRC, driven by Elfyn Evans, Teemu Suninen, and Pontus Tidemand (on certain rounds) in 2019.

The departure of Sébastien Ogier at the end of 2018 to Citroën has a real visual effect on Ford Fiestas. Exit the colors Red Bull (partner of Gapençais), replaced by an elegant navy blue dress which is reminiscent of the decoration of the 2014 season.
However, this pretty shade highlights the absence of a main sponsor; except Castrol lubricant and Michelin manufacturer, no logo external to Malcolm Wilson's companies is affixed to the bodywork.
“The coming year promises to be crucial for M-Sport, indicates the British Managing Director. We have a large number of projects, such as the opening of our Evaluation Center, which includes a test track. It's fantastic to see this circuit as the setting for our Fiesta WRC.
Without the help from Ford, MS-RT (the small series vehicle subsidiary of M-Sport), Castrol, Michelin and our trusted partners, we would not have been able to continue our commitment to the WRC », recognizes Malcolm Wilson.
This announcement finally allows us to know the numbers that the M-Sport Ford drivers will wear. Eflyn Evans chose 33 while Teemu Suninen opted for 3.
