Sébastien Ogier testing with M-Sport

A few days after formalizing the continuation of their common adventure in 2018, Sébastien Ogier et M-Sport appear again in “competition” mode with the preparatory tests for the opening round of the WRC, Rally Montecarlo.

The five-time world champion, winner of the Monaco classic in 2017, was able to test the Ford Fiesta on the asphalt in the south of France, encountering rather dry conditions. Quite the opposite of certain test sessions seen at Toyota Gazoo Racing which benefited from the snow for the start ofOtt Tänak.

The Ogier – M-Sport tandem thus begins preparation for Monte-Carlo ahead of last year, when Ogier tested the Fiesta on gravel at the end of the season before signing up with Malcolm Wilson's structure.

After a Swedish session, the Frenchman only tested the car at the blue oval on asphalt at the beginning of January 2017.
