Teemu Suninen is confident his time in a Ford Fiesta Rally2 this season will put him in a stronger position for driving a new hybrid-generation Rally1 car in 2022. The M-Sport Ford driver has a programme combining events in a Fiesta World Rally Car and the Rally2 car this year. “Next year with Rally1 car, there’s no centre differential and we’re back to a [stick] gearshift and there’s going to be less aerodynamics,” he said. “For the driving, this is more similar to the current Rally2 cars. To take more experience of driving a car in specification like this is good. “Like I said, there’s a strong comparison [between Rally2] and the car for next year, so I really don’t mind driving in WRC2 so much.”.
