Ford Fiesta WRC (2017–2019)

Overview

Debuting in the 2017 World Rally Championship, the Ford Fiesta WRC represented a major leap forward from its predecessor, designed around the new FIA rules allowing more powerful engines, advanced aerodynamics, and greater suspension travel. Developed by M-Sport in the UK without full Ford factory funding, the car stunned the rallying world by winning the championship in its first season with Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia.

This was one of the most aerodynamically advanced rally cars ever built at the time, taking full advantage of the 2017 WRC ruleset.


🏆 Competitive Highlights

  • 2017 Drivers’ & Co-Drivers’ Champions: Sébastien Ogier & Julien Ingrassia.
  • 2017 Manufacturers’ Championship Runner-Up: A remarkable result for a privately-run M-Sport team.
  • Multiple Rally Wins: Victories across gravel, tarmac, and snow including Monte Carlo, Sweden, and Portugal.
  • Consistent Podium Finisher: Maintained competitiveness through 2019.

The 2017 Fiesta WRC proved that a well-engineered car and talented team could challenge — and beat — heavily funded factory efforts.


Driving Characteristics

The Fiesta WRC combined sharp turn-in and high-speed stability with explosive acceleration out of corners. Drivers praised its balance and responsive chassis, though the extreme aero required a committed driving style to fully exploit its grip potential.
