This season, Ford and M-Sport have achieved two significant landmarks in the FIA World Rally Championship. In Sweden, Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila's victory represented the 50th WRC win in Ford and M-Sport's 16-year partnership.

Just over two months later, Rally Argentina marked the 150th consecutive event on which at least one of the team's nominated drivers finished in a points-scoring position when Petter Solberg and Chris Patterson captured 6th place overall.

The first rally in the scoring run was the 2002 Rallye Monte-Carlo when Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya finished third and Colin McRae and Nicky Grist were fourth. Both were driving Ford Focus RS World Rally cars.

This video has been produced to recognise and celebrate Ford and M-Sport's achievements, and we hope you enjoy watching!
