Quest’anno la Ford Fiesta RS WRC-s del team di M-Sport World Rally sarà decorata con una nuova livrea che Elfyn Evans e Ott Tänak hanno creato, considerando la diversa natura del WRC 2015.
Asfalto, neve e ghiaia; con un design accattivante il team vuole cercare di ispirare la sua squadra, unendo immaginazione e nostalgia.
A NEW SEASON WITH A FAMILIAR FEEL
The M-Sport World Rally Team Ford Fiesta RS WRCs will be adorned with an exciting new livery
this year as Elfyn Evans and Ott Tänak tackle the diverse nature of the 2015 FIA World Rally
Championship (WRC).
Asphalt, snow, and gravel – the team’s eye-catching design aims to inspire its young squad whilst
igniting the imagination with a hint of nostalgia.
Having had a continued presence in the WRC since the series’ was established in 1973, Ford cars
have produced some of the most iconic liveries and M-Sport’s 2015 offering harks back to some of
the old favourites.
Inspired by Hannu Mikkola’s 1980 Ford Escort RS 1800 MKII and the later 1989 Ford Sierra RS
Cosworth of Colin McRae, M-Sport’s new design reflects the Blue Oval’s long and prestigious
standing within the sport; a modern twist bringing the colour scheme up-to-date for this year’s
young and aspiring drivers.
Pairing a blast from the past with the ambition of Evans and Tänak, the team’s long-term partners
are also well represented. M-Sport enjoys continued support from Castrol and Michelin as well as
a host of dedicated trade partners – all working together to realise the squad’s potential.
The 2015 livery will be displayed on the main stage of the Autosport International this week
before making its competitive debut on the legendary stages of Rallye Monte-Carlo at the end of
the month.
Team Principal, Malcolm Wilson OBE, said:
“When designing this year’s livery we were keen to produce something fresh and exciting whilst
celebrating Ford’s long and prestigious standing within the FIA World Rally Championship.
“Throughout history, Ford cars have produced some of the most striking colour schemes which
became firm favourites around the globe. It’s great to see some of these iconic liveries reflected in
our 2015 car – a modern twist tailoring the design to our young and ambitious team.
“We continue to enjoy great support from all at Ford, Castrol and Michelin, not to mention our
valued trade partners. I speak for everyone when I say that we are all looking forward to the
season ahead and to unlocking the huge potential of both Elfyn [Evans] and Ott [Tänak].”
