Munchi’s Ford Team Finland 2008 test with new S2000 parts

The Munchi's Team have been testing in Finland this week and have been using some S2000 parts. Rally Finland will be the team's second attempt at the rally in which Companc finished 11th and Villagra was 14th last year. The drivers found it hard going last year on the WRC's fastest rally and hope to be a little more experienced this time. According to onlookers the team weren't particularly fast compared with the tests of Subaru and Citroen.

The test this week also featured the cars using non-ceramic hubs as Ford are currently trying out new parts in line with the S2000 regulations. M-Sport Ford were in Spain the other week completing some R&D work with the Focus WRC and were using new S2000 bits there. This gives some indication that Ford will commit to the WRC but we will have to wait for an official statement expected soon.
