Last night it was reported that the M-Sport developed Ford Fiesta Super2000 had problems in the scrutineering for Rally Monte Carlo. The problems seemed to be solved last night, but reports now claim that there are still big problems with getting the cars through the scrutineering – something that is totally needed to be able to start the event. Unconfirmed rumours talk about just a 20% chance of the Fiestas starting the event as it looks right now – but measures are being taken to try to get Mikko Hirvonen in his Fiesta driving as a safety car if he will be forbidden to start as a competitor.

Obvoiusly, it would be a big drawback for M-Sport and their reputation if they wont be able to start the event. Besides Mikko Hirvonen even Julien Maurin is supposed to start the event in a Fiesta Super2000. However, Malcolm Wilson have previously seemed to have a magic skill (or wallet big enough to fly parts and people all over the world?) to solve problems, and I hope and also think that he will do that even now.

The story will go on during the afternoon…
