Fakta WRC
Rally-VM avgörs under 13 deltävlingar och man korar en förar- och märkesvärldsmästare för den person och stall som har lyckas samla flest poäng under året.
Man kör på varierande underlag så som grus, asfalt, is och snö och varje deltävling pågår i 3 dagar, varje dag är dessutom uppdelad i 15-25 sträckor och vinnaren är den som lyckas ta sig igenom alla sträckor snabbast.
De 10 snabbaste förarna och bilarna får poäng, 1:an får 25 följt av 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 och 1 poäng för den 10:e snabbaste föraren och bilen. Varje tävling har även en sträcka som de 5 snabbaste på den sträckan får extra poäng på, 5-1 poäng så förarna kan maximalt få 30 poäng under en tävling. I märkesmästerskapet för varje team räkna de med de 2 högst placerade förarna.
Om man tvingas bryta under en dag har man möjligheten att starta dagen efter. Man får 7 minuters tidstillägg för varje sträcka man missar, 10 minuter om man bara missar 1.

En WRC-bil baseras på produktionsbilar men motor, drivlina, aerodynamik och andra delar utvecklas specifikt för att se till att bilen klarar av att köras snabbt och säkert på alla typer av underlag, det är därför prislappen stannar på runt 5 miljoner kronor för en WRC-bil.
Motorn är på 1,6l och utvecklar ca 380hk, en sekventionell växellåda är kopplad till en avancerad fyrhjulsdrift.
Karossen får ha en rad aerodynamiska hjälpmedel, minimivikten ligger på 1175kg så det gäller att få all hjälp man kan få för att hålla bilen på vägen.

De 4 förarna hos M-Sport Ford för 2022.

GREENSMITH STAYS WITH M-SPORT FORD FOR 2022

Gus Greensmith will remain with M-Sport Ford for the first season of the FIA World Rally Championship’s hybrid era in 2022.

The team confirmed during shakedown for the closing round of the 2021 campaign in Italy on Thursday evening that Greensmith will tackle a full 13-round campaign in an all-new Puma WRC Rally1 car.

The 24-year-old Briton tackled his first full programme in the WRC’s top flight this year and scored a career-best fourth place at Safari Rally Kenya’s return to the championship in June.

Greensmith joins Craig Breen in the M-Sport Ford line-up, the Irishman switching from Hyundai Motorsport on a two-year deal. Frenchman Adrien Fourmaux is also expected to remain with the team after an impressive first full year.

The switch to hybrid power for the WRC’s 50th season, as part of a wide-ranging package of sustainable measures, is a huge landmark in championship history. Greensmith can’t wait to sample the Puma in competition.

“I have been very happy with my improvements throughout the year and it means a lot to be representing the team going into 2022, where it seems that the guys and girls have done a fantastic job at creating a very competitive package,” he enthused.

Greensmith, who is joined by Swede Jonas Andersson in the co-driver’s seat for the first time at FORUM8 ACI Rally Monza this weekend, has climbed to the top with M-Sport since joining in 2014 at grass roots level. He made his top-tier debut in Portugal in 2019.

M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson admitted he has been encouraged by Greensmith’s progress this season as experienced co-driver Chris Patterson guided him to five top six finishes.

“He has impressed me a lot this year with how much he has developed and disciplined himself while improving his pace. Gus is developing into a strong member of the team and I am looking forward to celebrating more success with him and the team next year,” said Wilson.

FOURMAUX CONFIRMED AT M-SPORT FORD FOR 2022

Adrien Fourmaux will complete M-Sport Ford’s full-time FIA World Rally Championship line-up next season after being retained by the British team.

It was widely expected the Frenchman would join Craig Breen and Gus Greensmith for the start of the WRC’s hybrid era after being involved in testing the new Puma WRC Rally1. That news was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.

Fourmaux started his career just five years ago. He began 2021 sharing the squad’s top-flight Fiesta World Rally Car with Teemu Suninen. He achieved a career-best fifth place at his debut in Croatia and claimed his first stage win later in Kenya.

The 26-year-old kept the seat on a permanent basis when Suninen left in August and now has a full programme for the first time.

“An entire season is waiting for me with the M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally 1, which is a pleasure to drive,” he said. “I am so proud of this. It is a very significant moment for me when I remember that I discovered rallying with the M-Sport Fiesta R2J back in 2017.

“For my sixth season in rallying I am really looking forward to competing at the highest level in M-Sport Ford and Red Bull Motorsport colours, and make all the people who believed in me and still believe in me proud.”

M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson has given a host of youngsters their first chance at the top level. Fourmaux joins drivers like Elfyn Evans, Ott Tänak, Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala and Petter Solberg in receiving their big break with the team.

“Seeing Adrien given the opportunity to compete in a full season with us is something I am very proud of,” he said. “M-Sport has a long history of developing young drivers and Adrien is no exception, 2022 gives him the chance to show what he can really do.

“I am sure he will deliver some impressive performances over the course of the season.”

Team principal Richard Millener was equally enthusiastic. “Finally confirming that Adrien will run with us for a full season is another piece of fantastic news,” he said.

“Adrien is such a motivated and exciting driver, and I am really pleased he now has a full season to be able to prove to us what he is capable of and demonstrate further development of what has so far been a very short career at the top level.”
