M-Sport has taken the covers off its 2026 World Rally Championship challenger, sporting a new livery.
The Ford squad has regularly been the most creative WRC team when it comes to livery season, with another new design for the Puma Rally1 emerging in 2026.
With shades of the 2004-05 livery that adorned the Focus WRC two decades ago, this year’s color scheme is white in base with flashes of green, blue and even yellow.
One notable omission is the Red Bull logo, with the energy drinks giant now plastered on reigning world champion Sébastien Ogier’s Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 only.
In its place is more prominent MS-RT branding. M-Sport Road Technology is the team’s long-standing partner which takes styling and aesthetic cues from the rally to the road car. Fellow sponsor Safety Culture also enjoys enhanced visibility, featuring on the hood as well as the rear.
With Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy drivers Josh McErlean and Jon Armstrong comprising M-Sport’s full season charge, Motorsport Ireland branding features on the side as well as the bottom of the hood, along with a Castrol logo.
The green and blue accents towards the front of the car also resemble the Motorsport Ireland Rally Academy livery that has been used by many of its drivers, including McErlean before he joined M-Sport’s Rally1 lineup last year.
