I spectated another day of M-Sport Ford's test ahead of WRC Croatia Rally 2021

Hi, friends!

I am really big fan of rallying and you already know that. Today I was at another day of testing of semi-private manufacturer called M-Sport Ford and today I had a chance to speak with their team boss Richard Millener and that was really pleasant surprise to talk to someone really important in the world of rallying.

I went on test alone because my friend doesn't like rainy weather. Me neither but if we are talking about WRC test ahead of Croatia Rally, I don't mint what kind of weather we have during the day.

So today we really raining and guys from M-Sport Ford had to use Monte Carlo Rallye tires beccause it was so wet with lots of mud.

I know those conditions very well because of our national rally championship and Rally Kumrovec (Power Stage of WRC event is from this rally) is usually wet and very muddy, just like it was today at the test.

I was amazed how Ford Fiesta WRC behave on the big muddy cuts - like it was no mud an no cuts on the road. It is so stable with electronic differential snd four wheel drive that I couldn't believe.

Teemu Suninen tested with Rally2 class but also he tried to set-up their WRC car for his young team mates Gus Greensmith and Adrien Fourmaux. All three of them tested today but, like I expected, Teemu Suninen was the one to watch.

His driving is so precise and it is unbelievable that other two are driving in the top WRC1 class and he drives WRC2 class. Money turns the world around, they say, and it is true in this case. All three drivers must bring the money in any way to drive in the World Rally Championship. That's why M-Sport Ford doesn't have that much testing days - they lack budget and they have to take the paying drivers.

Once again I made some videos from the test. Some photos will come in the following days.

Enjoy...
