M-Sport World Rally Team
ID: team_135014
About
Established by ex-factory team driver Malcolm Wilson, M-Sport was selected to breathe new life into Fordâs World Rally Championship programme in 1997. Former world champions such as Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz and Marcus Grönholm delivered numerous rally victories, the latter leading the squad to back-to-back manufacturersâ titles in 2006 and 2007 with a Focus RS World Rally Car. Jari-Matti Latvala and Mikko Hirvonen brought more victories when the Fiesta replaced the Focus in 2011, but Fordâs withdrawal from the championship at the end of 2012 delivered a financial blow to Wilsonâs small team. It toiled without further success until 2017 when the arrival of SĂ©bastien Ogier signaled a swift upturn in fortunes. The Frenchman led the team to both the driversâ and manufacturersâ world titles in an impressive new-generation Fiesta. Ford returned to M-Sportâs side in 2018 in greater force and Ogier delivered another driversâ crown before returning to CitroĂ«n in 2019. Thereâs a youthful look to the 2021 squad. Twenty-four-year-old Gus Greensmith tackles his first full season in a Fiesta World Rally Car. He is joined by Teemu Suninen, 26, and rising French star Adrian Fourmaux, 25, who share a second Fiesta.
