M-Sport team boss Richard Millener wants a reduction in pre-event test days to lower budgets and help attract more marques to the WRC Full story ⬇️
The current Rally1 regulations sees teams granted one test day per driver for every European round of the championship, with an additional day to be used by any driver at any time in March.
For example, ahead of this weekend’s Rally Finland Hyundai conducted three test days at its Finland test base, while Toyota completed four days spread across its four entries near to its Finland-based workshop. The British squad is a semi-works Ford operation with a budget that is smaller compared to the full factory outfits of Toyota and Hyundai.
“We didn’t test here [in Finland] and there has been a few reactions [on the internet] to that, saying that we are not bothering or not trying which is frustrating," Millener told Autosport.
