M-Sport press release
M-Sport has announced that it will be developing a Super 2000 car which will conform to the new FIA World Rally Championship sporting regulations and satisfy current Super 2000 customer market demand.
Work is due to commence soon on the car, which will be ready for homologation in January 2010. It will be based on the new Ford Fiesta and is set to be M-Sport's first global rally car allowing competitors in all regional championships to compete for overall victory.
M-Sport has been Ford's partner in the WRC since 1997 and developed the record-breaking Focus RS WRC that won the world rally championship manufacturers' title for Ford in both 2006 and 2007. The project will again be led by the team's award winning technical director Christian Loriaux.
The Super 2000 formula was last month confirmed as the future for the WRC, superseding the current generation of World Rally Cars by the start of the 2011 season.
Many championships across the globe welcome Super 2000 cars, ensuring that customer demand will stretch from national level up the sport's pinnacle at the WRC.
