DRIVE DMACK FIESTA TROPHY

The Drive DMACK Fiesta Trophy is a joint initiative between WRC tyre manufacturer DMACK and rally preparation experts M-Sport to help provide a cost-effective platform for upcoming drivers to experience the FIA World Rally Championship.

In addition to creating an affordable and competitive series incorporating five rounds of the WRC, drivers battle for the

biggest prize in world rally - seven rounds of WRC2 competition using a Drive DMACK Ford Fiesta R5.

The 2016 Trophy is being contested by competitors from 13 countries around the world – making it a truly global initiative. They will battle it out using identical Ford Fiesta R2T rally cars prepared and maintained by M-Sport and equipped with the latest DMACK rally tyres.
