Testing of the new 2011 Ford Fiesta RS WRC is already under way, and here’s some exclusive video footage of an early version under test in Cumbria. Ford team boss Malcolm Wilson explained: “We are right on track with our development [of the Ford Fiesta RS WRC] and the team is delighted with testing to date. Another major step forward will be taken at the start of October when the car tests in full 2011 technical specification for the first time.
“We will have a test car running under the guidance of our technical director, Christian Loriaux. Mikko and Jari-Matti lead our challenge with the new car in the 2011 WRC, so their feedback from the testing is critical and will provide valuable data for our engineering team to work with,” he added.
