The world of motorsport market can surprise us day after day. Today we are going to comment on this beautiful unit, which does not have an ex-official past, but it has been in the hands of an interesting driver in the World Championship. This is chassis 42 of the Ford Fiesta WRC.
Nasser Al-Attiyah was in charge of putting the car on the stages from the 2014 season, in which he managed to win the WRC2 championship. In full development of the first R5s (Ford, Citroën and Peugeot) the Qatari dominated most of the rallies that he contested. The car, at that time, shared RRC specifications.
Since 2016, and to this day, the unit belongs to the Italian Step Five Motorsport team, which has made several rentals around the world until this year. Austria and Italy were the countries where the car competed the most, up until the 2019 season.
During it, Marco Signor became his regular driver, competing in the competition created by Italy for the WRC, and finishing in third position. In 2020, this car participated in the San Marino Legend Rally, with Pierluigi Alessandri at the controls, and already wearing the ex-official livery that it looks today.
The car has all the necessary evolutions and homologation papers, and it looks very nice. The colors are similar to those used by M-Sport Ford in the 2011 season, the first with the Fiesta RS WRC in the race, and with the sponsorship of Abu Dhabi and Castrol as predominant.
