Ford and the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC)

Ford’s primary activity in motorsport is the gruelling FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). The events take place throughout the year over the most challenging terrains all around the world, in temperatures ranging from -22 to +40ºC!

This exciting and influential Championship is a critical component of our global motorsport strategy. The WRC is a fantastic opportunity for both testing and demonstrating the full potential of our new technological advances in performance vehicles – an impressive example of which is the Focus RS World Rally Car itself.

Ford's global motorsport activities

The Ford name is synonymous with motorsport across four continents and the majority of countries around the world. Motorsport is important because it allows the opportunity to showcase the true performance capabilities of Ford products and has cultivated a tremendous following everywhere our vehicles are sold.

Since Henry Ford started racing in the US in 1901, we’ve used our involvement in motorsport to improve the performance and safety of our road cars. We’ve done this by introducing innovative technology on some of the world’s most testing racing tracks.
