Should M-Sport be dropped
Considering the resources and driving talent at there dissposal shouldn't M-Sport have provided at least one manufacuers or drivers title.
The car is the second best to the Peugeot overall but has always missed out to the Subaru, Mitsubishi and Peugeot when it comes to the crunch. I like Malcolm Wilson but someting really needs to be done to shake up M-Sport. |

It'd be interesting to see the comparative budgets the teams have to work with, as Peugeot & Citroen eclipse the rest by a fair way.
I'm not sure it's M-Sport, rather the Focus is the wrong size and Ford have not gone in for event specialists like the other teams do. |

I think Ford are up there with Peugeot/Citroen in terms of budget. Certainly more than Subaru and everyone else.
I would say the Focus is the ideal size wide track and long wheelbase with very small hangovers. Certainly better proportioned than the 206WRC for most events other than Corsica. Fords problem is that the French teams have developed specialist tarmac cars that are built just for tarmac events. The results of these cars can be seen for themselves. Ford are only now developing a tarmac only car. |
