M-Sport Ford WRC Clean Sweep

Published

M-SPORT wrapped up three FIA world titles as well as victory at last weekend's Rally GB in Wales.

A dream result for privateer squad M-Sport, which took on and beat three manufacturer teams to secure its first manufacturers’ title since 2007.

Sixth place for Ott Tänak in an M-Sport Ford Fiesta was enough to seal the manufacturers' crown, while third for Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia in the sister car guaranteed their fifth drivers' and co-drivers' titles and Elfyn Evans' maiden victory on his and M-Sport's home round gave extra reason to celebrate.

Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle had a consistent weekend finishing seventh overall. However, the Citroen crew never challenged the leaders with Meeke citing the lack of pace from Citroen’s decision not to test in the Welsh forests, electing to pre-event test in France with dryer conditions. A decision that robbed the team of a podium result.

The Hugh O’Flaherty Memorial Society has confirmed that the exhibition will run from December 16, to January 17, , coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Killarney priest’s ordination on December 20, 1925.
The display will feature a collection of photographs, artefacts and documents previously exhibited in Killarney, along with several newly sourced historic items.
Organisers say the exhibition will appeal to visitors of all ages, particularly students, as it outlines the life and humanitarian work of the famed cleric, who saved thousands of lives in Rome during World War II.
