Motorsport: Quinn optimistic of positive outcome on Ogier signing

Five-time world rally champion Sebastien Ogier will soon decide whether he remains with M-Sport or retires from the World Rally Championship.

M-Sport won the Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles in this year’s WRC, clinching both on Wales Rally GB where Welsh ace Elfyn Evans (Ford Fiesta WRC) won the event to make it a memorable season for Ford and M-Sport. It’s no secret Citroen wanted Ogier to rejoin them - he left the French outfit in 2011.

And as the decision is awaited, Corkman Gerard Quinn, Head of Ford Performance Europe, is central to the negotiations.
