M-Sport Ford revealed Puma Rally1 car for the first time without masking stickers
Hi, friends!
First round of 2022 World Rally Championship starts in just five weeks and teams started to show their homologated chassis/cars but without masking stickers because they all wanted to hide their aerodynamic advances.
That's pretty normal if you ask me (to hide details which could give you precious seconds on each rally). Now we have very interesting short movie from M-Sport Ford with their driver Adrien Fourmaux who wasn't even entered for Monte because team is still negotiating with Red Bull, Fourmaux's sponsor (they paid his WRC drive this season).
Now, if Fourmaux is in the promotional video made in the style of Gymkhana videos, then he should be entered for Monte Carlo Rallye, just with another big Red Bull ambassador Seb Loeb.
It's all about the money and guys from M-Sport want to be sure that they will get that sponsorship money which is not that small. I agree with them this time (but I disagree about their policy of paying drivers - anyone (talented) with the money can drive their machines).
From the testing videos it is clearly visible that the car has big potential but until clock stops on the special stages of Monte Carlo Rallye, we won't know where they are with the car.
It all looks good in the promotional video and I guess that every rally fan will see it as Ken Block's Gymkhana videos. So this is pretty nice as an entry into the season 2022 of the World Rally Championship.
Roll on, guys!
