Ford has taken the covers off its new Fiesta WRC contender at the Paris motor show, the third new-era WRC model to be launched at the show.
Having campaign the Focus since 1999, Ford and its M Sport rally team have decided to switch to the Fiesta for 2011, since the new WRC rules better suit the smaller Supermini.
So far the car has been testing with a Ford Focus engine. Now though, having officially unveiled the car itself, the next step comes in the next few days when the car will be tested in full 2011 spec for the first time.
This is all very nice, Ford, and we wish you all the very best in the WRC, but can we have the Fiesta ST now, please?
