With the 2018 edition of the Monza Rally Show we saw the introduction of the WRC Plus class, the rally monsters currently used in the World Rally Championship. M-Sport brought 4 of its Ford Fiesta but two of them were a bit "special". Not just because they were driven by WRC driver Teemu Suninen and MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi but mostly because they were fitted with the new upgraded aero introduced back in July 2018.
In fact at the 2018 Rally Finland, Sebastien Ogier's Fiesta was with new shaped side mirrors, similar to those used by Toyota and Hyundai, and big modification of the rear wheel arches and rear diffuser (still pretty similar to the Yaris' design). For the 2019 season it seems like these aero package will be on all the cars but with some further changes, as they are already visible in some videos of the tests done this week.
Enjoy the sounds of the 380HP FIesta WRCs in action at Monza Circuit! From 10:09 to 11:56 you can see some split screen comparisons between Teemu and Valentino.
