I love this sort of thing. What surprises me the most is that there is a market for so many Fiesta rally cars. That facility is basically a production line.
Impressive for Poland to see Ford sourcing this motorsports initiative end-to-end from the country. Only a handful of years ago this would have likely been in the UK. Hope to see more of such development programs in Poland in the future.
Except for the sequential Sadev box, and 'on/off switch' (AP Racing??) clutch (for launching/starting out only), this is the most 'street-able' of any AWD Fiesta rally machines. 😉👍
Im going to be building my own rally car with a 4G63T that I have and going to swap it in a 93-96 Toyota Celica. Its going to be exciting and this video really helped and inspired me so much more!
The automotive industry accounts for over 11% of Poland's economy... along with exemplary technical expertise and craftsmanship necessary to produce such cutting-edge competition machines, it's no surprise that these cars are built there.
@@gwot YES, THIS! But at the very least, Malcolm & Co. should make the whole drivetrain, subframe assemblies, and the suspension available all by themselves for all of the street Fiesta owners out there who want to convert to AWD.
And the main contributor, Malcolm Wilson. The young lad I used to watch rallying back in the 70's. Thank you Malcolm, hope your success continues. [Going to have to stop eating all those pies Seb before becoming a co-driver...!!]🤣🤣
Lol. Buy one and you van check IT itself. No one will tell you that because company spend milions to develop car and don't want someone used and proffited from their work without paying.
yeah, i mean games and internet and all other media of more * in attention* countries steal our attention of our oprtunities, possibilities and awareness of our surroundings.
Bo to nie WRC tylko auta nowej kategorii Rally3. Auta WRC ( obecnie Rally1),oraz R5 (obecnie Rally2) produkowane są w macierzystej siedzibie M-Sportu, w UK, nie w M-Sport Poland.
I really enjoy the behind the scenes action of what goes into these cars. Also, much to my relief, I witnessed no fist/elbow bumping and mask wearing cringe throughout this video. A solid handshake at the beginning. Hallelujah!
I am sure I am not the only one that is into Rally and Rally Cars, but actually in those second hand build ups that have a proper street legal number plate. For some old models there are fibre glass body kits out and some Rally able spare parts are actually cheaper than OEM once, like those Bilstein gas suspension. The reason is that Rally style driving can be done without breaking the traffic laws, because the interesting roads are those winded, narrow once that have no special speed limit for a reason.... My whole point is that it is still difficult to get performance parts to upgrade especially stopping power or overall safety from belts to cages that can be turned street legal, even so those parts would increase overal car safety. I would like to have 600hp, or just another 100 on top of my stock 130 from my 4cyl, but more grip and cage would be first, because I am a rally guy no GT Autobahn pedal to the medal freak and car posing is for luxurious rides that won't get dirty and have no ground clearance...
I’ve recently been consuming all the old rally vids on the VHS Rallies channel, and quite a few have footage of Malcom Wilson actually competing. I wonder what he’d have thought if you were to tell him in the late 70’s or early 80’s that in 2021 (and earlier in the 2000’s) he’d own and run M-Sport, be racing in GT3 with Bentley, be building WRC Fords in Wales and be building a new Rally3 Ford in his new Factory located in Poland? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Great video, and hats off to all the skilled people invloved in this. However, what is shown in this video is not "development" and the word was seriously abused. This was production/assembly. It would have been nice to see some engineers testing some prototype parts, or some designers working their magic over CAD stations. That is what I would call development, not the process of a welding the roll cage in a car on the production line. My question here is, does anyone know if the whole R3 spec specific parts for the MK8 Fiesta were developed in Poland, or some in UK too? It is only clear about the wiring harness from the video. Also, have they been involved in the development of any other cars, or is this the first? It is super interesting to see the expertise and hard work of these people!
I’d rather have one of these cars over ANY current super car or sports car for sale…Without question! It would be the ultimate weekend driver, in full gravel spec. I would never want or need anything else.
I feel that same way about the R5/Rally 1 Fiestas. 😉👍 But I would want it in 'rough tarmac' spec (like they are set up for Rally Germany, or some of the bumpier Euro/National tarmac rallies).
Bit late to this reply, but for anyone wondering, the price cap for Rally3 was 100,000 euro ex VAT, I think M-Sport were offering these for 99,999. It's risen a little since due to inflation, but the price is still capped by WRC to keep it affordable for new drivers. Rally4 and Rally5 are priced lower and so on.
You have to define "quite a lot". Yes, of course they will initially be, and long term upkeep/'consumables' be higher cost than the current R2/R2C rides, but MUCH MUCH lower co$t overall than the R5 cars. That's the whole idea behind them, as an AWD platform 'stepping stone' to the R5 cars. 😉
I lived in a portuguese village where there were rally drivers and I had the pleasure of riding once with one of that driver's sons in a normal van. He was also a rally driver. The way he drove it was fantastic, the calmness of knowing what he was doing was impressive. That said, I have always said and continue to say to generations of pertolheads that it takes hands, but a rally car has nothing to do with a production car. It's night and day, only the appearance is similar. Have some sense for the love of God and don't be stupid!👽
All of the R5 and Rally 1 cars are still built at the Dovenby facility in Cumbria. All of the R2C, and Rally 3/4 rides are built in this facility in Poland.
M-Sport FANTASTIC operation. Quality Job from start to finish. Where / How does a crazy American buy one? Cost? Realisticaly, to properly run a Rally car what else is needed? I would suspect if I wanted to jump into this fun I need really 2 cars, 1 assembled and a second on the sidelines in parts. Would it be safe to assume that a 3rd (in parts) is being refurbished once the season is underway? An amazing enterprise.
(Barry) McKenna Motorsports was the sole U.S. distributor for M-Sport machinery in recent years past, but not sure that he is still here in the country now, or repping Malcolm's products anymore. ??? I also believe that for anything under the R5/RALLY 1 WRC level, one may HAVE TO buy their cars/parts/kits DIRECTLY from M-Sport Poland. (??)
Wow i would not have imagined that they use mcpherson type of suspension in rally. it seems so fragile and the turning radius is not really symmetrical.

Don't know how it differs in each country but in Czech Republic it is road-legal only at the day of the event and the road section as indicated by itinerary must be followed.
@@mobilespeed But it would not be in the more draconian inspection states in the U.S. as well as not being able to be legally registered/insured long term anywhere in the U.S. (U.S. rally pilots/owners have a one year 'exemption' granted for rides like this, the R2Cs, R5s and WRC Rally1 cars) as even the factory standard Mk8 Fiestas/ STs are not brought here currently.

I think Rally cars need to be replaced ofte because of the hard conditions and wear it faces during it's lifetime.

Hats off for all polish engineers working on groundbreaking things and processes!
Today I ran into a Ford Rally3 on the road at the WRC Chile 2024 and it was absolutely mind blowing. What a beauty of a car. Piece of art
This is simply amazing, the combination of science, experience and ingenuity to build art from ground up. I admire the skills of all these people!

They’re all road legal already as they race on public roads.

Amazing video, cant wait to see them in action this year!
First ten seconds and I’m super amped. And I’d like to thank you for taking the time and creative capacity to produce this video!
Now i can start building 😆
Great vid! I love the tube and cage work. Especially the subframes which look super light.
Great video just wished they got into more details with the individual systems
Great host, he looks like a heavy Freddie Mercury. Very cool inside look into the build.
That roll cage fab was sweet!
Love the sound of the 3 cyl, sounds like a high revving straight 6
its basically like a fiesta R2 but 4 wheel drive and few more horses, great car :)
i love wrc 💪👏 happ new year wrc and wrc 2 and 3 and wrc juniors

Apply ofcourse
And learn Polish language 😆
Just need more on rally spec engines though
Cool to see a Kemppi welder outside of Finland :D That is a well build machine and i have a similar model myself
Did he really say "its these three holes we are getting all the power from" 😄
Listening to all the different accents is interesting
Excellent work, and was received just in time...!

you guys need some car rotators, makes doing fabrication/welding/etc so much easier. i built a set in the 70s and still have them.
you must be very naive if you think that they dont have 20-30 of them

90% of body, lights, engine block amd many components around engine.

Two questions.
1. Is it road legal.
2. (Incase I win the lottery) how much does it cost?
All rally cars are road legal, prior to drive on road section from service park to special stages...
It is road legal and it probably cost around 100k
Yeah it is road legal but you cannot register it as a road car and the price is 99k as 100k was the highest price these cars can cost
