M-Sport outlines 2024 Puma WRC development plan
Last week, the British M-Sport team unveiled its 2024 Puma car and conducted its first pre-event test for the upcoming season. M-Sport had a successful year in 2023 with two wins, but faced reliability issues that hindered their chances of winning the championship. Despite not having the same resources as Toyota and Hyundai, M-Sport plans to continue developing the Puma throughout the season, with a new rear wing being introduced later in the year. Team principal Richard Millener emphasized their commitment to development and testing, ensuring their drivers receive ample testing time before the Monte Carlo rally. M-Sport aims to address the reliability issues from the previous season and improve the car’s performance. This season, M-Sport welcomes new drivers Adrien Fourmaux and Gregoire Munster, who have been promoted from the team’s WRC2 squad.
