Ford is one of the few manufactures that still supports the World Rally championship (WRC) with a solid investment and factory backing. In a world where even the big-dogs from Japan (Subaru and Mitsubishi) have pulled out, it is always a pleasure to see a manufacture support one of the most challenging racing series ever created. For Ford’s Abu Dhabi World Rally Team, the blue oval is listening to its fans by offering a livery challenge. The next time the Fiesta RS WRC car flings itself sideways down a far-too narrow dirt road, its war paint will have been chosen by Ford Fans.
“Up until now the Ford Abu Dhabi Team Fiesta RS WRCs have simply featured the Ford logo,” said Will May, Motorsport Marketing Manager for Ford of Europe. “So we’re inviting our Facebook followers to vote for one of several designs we’ve developed under one theme – which is ‘the food that fuels you’.” There are three designs that have been thrown into the competition, all of which have been inspired by the Abu Dhabi drivers themselves. The contest will run until the end of June and the winning livery (the one with the most “likes”) will be shown off during the upcoming Rally Finland.
If you’re on Facebook, make sure to ‘friend’ Ford’s World Rally Team and vote for your favorite design.
