M-Sport-Ford is eager to see how Martins Sesks handles his latest Rally1 challenge in Chile
M-Sport is treating Martins Sesks’ Rally Chile outing as an “extended audition” in the World Rally Championship as the Ford team continues to assess the young driver’s skills for the future. Rising star Sesks and co-driver Renars Francis have earned a third outing in Ford Puma Rally1 this year following impressive displays to finish fifth and seventh respectively in Poland and Latvia rounds earlier this year.
It is fast and technical I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a couple of accidents. “If he can get top five again, fantastic, that’s more the goal, so it’s a bit of an extended audition, I guess. But certainly, I’m not in a position to say that he's going to be signing with us for next year. It's just a case of trying to see what else we can do for these junior drivers.
