TME Motorsport Engineering purchased this M. Sport built R2 Ford Fiesta in mid-2021. TME ran this car as a hire car which is available on a fully supported arrive and drive basis. For 2023 the car will again be used by Kasia Nicklin as a central part of her driver development programme with TME supplying full on event support on tests and rallies. Ryan Champion will continue to provide driver coaching
The car has had a comprehensive rebuild including a full engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild, suspension and hub rebuild along with a series of upgrades to make the car suitable for Kasia. The car will initially be run in tarmac specification with plans to convert to gravel specification as the programme develops.
