The Ford Fiesta Rally3 is a rally car developed and built by M-Sport to FIA Group Rally3 regulations for use at tier 3 of the FIA Rally Pyramid.[2] It is based upon the Ford Fiesta road car and debuted in 2021.[3]

Competition history

The car was debuted by Estonian driver Ken Torn at SM O.K. Auto-Ralli in Finland, finishing eleventh overall.[4] The car made its WRC debut at the 2021 Croatia Rally with Zoltan Laszlo behind the wheel.[5]

The Fiesta Rally3 made its WRC return during 2021 Rally Estonia, driven by Extreme E regular Molly Taylor with Sebastian Marshall co-driving. The crew crashed out on SS5.[6]

Since 2022, the car is used as the selected vehicle for the Junior WRC Championship. It was the only car in the Rally3 class until 2023 when the Renault Clio Rally3 was homologated by the FIA.[7]
