With the 2018 FIA World Rally Championship fast approaching, the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team revealed a striking new livery.
Following an incredible debut for the EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRC, increased technical support from Ford Performance will allow the team to continue development.
Red Bull also increases their involvement – extending their partnership to support the team’s young talent. The brand’s instantly recognisable motif has long been associated with five-time World Champion Sébastien Ogier. But it will now also be synonymous with the younger generation who’ll benefit from his the vast skill and experience.
Here’s our Ford Fiesta #WRC in its 2018 livery! ?

The M-Sport Ford World Rally Team revealed a striking new livery for the 2018 WRC season
In Rallye Monte Carlo, there will be four Ford Fiestas – the cars of Ogier and Elfyn Evans as well as the Fiesta R5s of Éric Camilli and Teemu Suninen.
The livery also continues to carry MS-RT branding – supporting the company’s range of bespoke road-going vehicles that draw inspiration from the M-Sport’s renowned competition cars.
Castrol and Michelin also have a strong presence.
Team Principal Malcolm Wilson said:
“Every year we look forward to revealing our liveries, and this year we were able to do it in style with a joint launch at what is widely considered to be the traditional start of the motorsport season – Autosport International.”
“Another thrilling year of close-fought competition awaits, and we can’t wait to get going.”
