Congratulations to Elfyn Evans/Daniel Barritt for winning the Wales Rally Great Britain (the first Welshman to ever win this event), Sebastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia for taking the OVERALL 2017 World Rally Championship, and M-Sport/MS-RT for winning the OVERALL 2017 Manufacturers WRC for FORD, albeit without any of their help, (also helped along by 3rd place in the overall driver's championship, Ott Tanak/Martin Jarveoja), all in Ford Fiesta WRCs prepped by M-Sport. ![[raceflag]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_race.gif "Race Flag [raceflag]")
This was all done by basically a private team, with MUCH MUCH less funding/support/tech support than the large, many high multi-million buck supported, official factory teams of; Hyundai, Toyota, and Citroen!![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")

MUCH credit, and kudos has to go to Malcolm Wilson OBE, founder, team principal, and managing director of M-Sport for the success of this campaign against some very strong teams in 2017.
I NEEDED some good news to counter so much of the absolute SHIT which has been going on for the last year or so!!
