M-Sport´s new Ford Fiesta S2000 has successfully completed its first phase of preliminary asphalt and gravel tests in the UK. After undergoing initial systems checks on Tarmac close to M-Sport´s Cumbrian base with Matthew and Malcolm Wilson sharing the driving duties, the car has covered over 1200kms on gravel in Greystoke Forest with Matthew Wilson behind the wheel.
Since the announcement that M-Sport would be building an S2000 car in April this year, the team of designers and engineers have stuck to a tight schedule allowing the development team to have two cars simultaneously undergoing testing.
Ready in 2010
The Fiesta S2000 is due for homologation in January 2010 and will be aimed at competitors in the WRC World Cup, IRC and national rally championships around the globe.
