Teams come and teams go from the World Rally Championship (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/wrc). But while this season will see the arrival of Volkswagen (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen) and Mini (http://www.autoblog.com/mini) on the WRC stage as newcomers, one perennial challenger that will return is Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford).
Having replaced the long-serving Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus) RS last season, Ford will carry on with the new Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta) RS for another crack at the title it narrowly lost once again to Citroën (http://www.autoblog.com/category/citroen) last season. No fewer than twelve examples will be on the stage this season, but only two will be fielded by the factory-backed Ford World Rally Team, which has just revealed their new livery for the upcoming season at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, England.
Castrol returns once again as the main sponsor, its logo dominating the new color scheme which will be sported by returning five-time rally winner Jari-Matti Latvala (with co-driver Miika Anttila) and former champion Petter Solberg (with Chris Patterson). The latter replaces perennial runner-up Mikko Hirvonen, who left for Citroën this season. Check out the new livery in the high-res image gallery and the press release after the jump.Continue reading Ford gears up with new Fiesta RS WRC livery (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/13/ford-gears-up-with-new-fiesta-rs-wrc-livery/)
