They are though the poorest choice for any decent driver hence they never really keep anyone long enough. Ogier was superb when he was there because he and he alone made the difference, the car as good, but Ogier was the reason they won, not the car.

As someone wo lives 5 miles from Dovenby Hall, I think you are rather mistaken. Malcolm Wilson is an astute businessman. He has invested in property, land and other areas not just rallying. Diversification has kept M Sport's head above water. Each area of M Sport has to pay for itself. Selling rally cars pays for the WRC team. I am sure Malcolm will not continue in the WRC if it is costing him money.
