The Fiesta SportTrophy International (FSTi) will return to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) for its fifth successive year in April 2010 and will again be supported by Pirelli. The great news is that drivers under the age of 28 years old will also be able to register for a J-WRC +FSTi joint package, scoring points for both championships and the J-WRC Rookie Trophy.
M-Sport established the one-make championship in 2006 and, while the general concept remains the same, the improvements made in 2009 to the incentive package and scoring system have been carried over into 2010.
The prize for the championship winner will be an all-expenses-paid test in the newly developed Fiesta S2000 with Ford factory driver Mikko Hirvonen, with the chance to discuss the test with the flying Finn and M-Sport Managing Director Malcolm Wilson OBE.
For 2010, the FST concept will use the five-speed Fiesta R2 rally car, which is based on the Ford Fiesta Sport using the 1.6L Ti-Vct 120PS (1598cc) base engine as in regular production. It is built from a standard conversion kit developed by M-Sport and is regularly taking class wins in the WRC. The GpN Fiesta ST will also be eligible for the championship; it has proven to be a reliable and competitive rally car, a fact reinforced by nearly 300 current owners in 27 countries around the world.
Of the seven counting rounds, the best points from five rounds will count towards the championship standings. This will allow those drivers who have completed the full season to drop any low scores, but will also assist those drivers who are only able to compete on an event-by-event basis to score highly overall if they achieve good results on occasional rallies.
