A great drive from EE, I do hope get gets it, such a likable chap

 

[weeloaney]

Absolutely brilliant result for M-Sport, drivers and constructors Championships won.

Didn’t want Ogier to win again but really wanted that result for M-Sport, it’s been too long.

What a weekend for all at M-Sport!! Incredible achievement.

World Champion privateers!!

 

[salster]

the highlight and heart-stopping moment of the year still has to be Kris Meeke and his little spin round the car park, especially when everybody is watching it live on tv.

 

[weeloaney]

Brilliant for Evans too

Great to see them do it with only a tiny bit of Ford input

 

[FM155]

Pity they arent getting more involved to keep ogier for next year. Be interesting to see what happens with him next year.

 

[DC.]

Looks like Citroen or M-Sport.

Hope he stays put.

 

[Graham]

Having done what they have done, I can see ford spunking more coin, ford performance is a global brand now and with a plethora of sporty ecoboost equipped cars globally it would make sense

Ford Performance tweeted about M-Sport’s success today so there is hope.

Surprised M-Sport haven’t found a title sponsor, although it should be easier now.

Until this season that had nothing to bring to the table really, a great effort

 

[Gaza_r]

Being a Ford fanboi I'm over the moon.

I really hope Ford now back M-Sport and Ogier signs a long term deal.

Great to see Ogier do it again and brilliant for m-sport, shows that the key is consistency. Also good to see Evans win an event.

Ford have a bit of history of buggering off from a team after backing them a bit do they not? Now they have left WRX they may well approach m-sport but wouldnt hold my breath.

 

[svensktoppen]

That was a great drive by Evans, well done.

Great for Ford, and well done Ogier. Good to see him do it without the massive team backing of VW.

Hyundai lost out on inconsistency, they must be kicking themselves, possibly their best ever chance.

Toyota will be right up there next year too.

 

[DC.]

A reliable car will see Toyota right up there.

I kinda feel like VW shouldn't be allowed to come back so soon. Like an ex girlfriend who broke your heart and then wants to come back straight away and be friends. It's too soon, we can be friends again in the future but I need some more time.

 

[svensktoppen]

I suppose they just want to get shot of leftover parts, so flog it all off to customer teams instead

They wanted to do this already this year but didn't get their act together and missed the homologation window.

You should never buy a Volkswagen.

Rumour mill in full swing, a French article suggesting we will see Ford back: Google Translate

And Gerard Quinn's (Ford Performance Europe) reply:

 

[Graham]

Gerard has always been a big fan of rallying, id say they will be backrunning

 

[logic]

It would be a crying shame if Ford does not lend a hand to Msport

 

[DC.]

Talk of DMACK not running a WRC team next year to focus on development.
