'Pedro' confirms Fiesta for 2020

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

'Pedro' and co-driver Emanuele Baldaccini will continue their #fiaworldrallychampionship adventure with the M-Sport family next year – contesting the WRC 3 support series with the EcoBoost-powered #ford Fiesta R5 MkII.

Having completed their first year on the world stage, the Italian pairing gained a wealth of knowledge and experience – and became regular point scorers with a top-ten finish on three of the five events they contested.

Stepping up in 2020, 'Pedro' will contest a minimum of six events starting with the season opener in Monte-Carlo. A pre-event test has already been planned, and the pairing will be able to progress their development with the same team of technicians and engineers.

Team Principal, Richard Millener, said:

"We saw a really good performance from 'Pedro' this season, and I'm really happy to see him and Emanuele continue with us in 2020. This was their first year in the #fiaworldrallychampionship, and I think they really enjoyed the challenge. 'Pedro,' knows how strong the #competition is and how vital it is to get experience of the events, and I know he'll be keen to continue his progress alongside the team next year. He and Emanuele are a pleasure to work with, and I'm certainly looking forward to continuing our relationship next year – and hope to see them continue with some strong point scores along the way."

'Pedro' said:

"It is a great satisfaction for me to be able to announce this news, and I am really looking forward to continuing my #fiaworldrallychampionship adventure as part of the M-Sport family. We have a good programme planned with some really interesting events. I will also use the same engineer and technician that I had this year which will enable me to really build on this season. And I know that with M‑Sport I will have all of the technical and human support I need. When you race with them, you really can just focus on doing your best."
