Ford Performance has a rich history in rally racing competing in WRC.

Ford has been involved in WRC racing since the sports inception in 1997, when it formed the Ford World Rally Team in partnership with Malcolm Wilson Motorsport, now known as M-Sport. In its debut season, the team achieved victory at the 1997 Acropolis Rally in Greece. Today, Ford Performance competes as part of the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team, scoring over 300 consecutive points finishes. The team races in a single WRC class, with drivers piloting the Ford Puma Rally1, a modified hybrid version of the Puma.

Ford's legacy in rally racing spans many years, featuring iconic vehicles, notable victories, and the skills of exceptional drivers.
