Ex-Škoda works driver Pontus Tidemand will contest this years World Rally Championship in M.Sport prepared Ford Fiesta WRC 2017. Two events are for sure and we are talking about first two events of the season - Monte Carlo Rallye and Rally Sweden.

Strong rally gossip says that his program will be eight events schedule and the most time I was right with what I wrote here.

He already tested his newest rally weapon so we can expect top 7 finish in my opinion. I can say that he could deliver 7th place with the R5 Škoda machinery but he decided to try the top class.

Every person has the right to try what is in their opinion the best for them. Let we see what Tidemand can deliver this season.
