M-Sport Ford Team Stars in New Six-Part WRC Docuseries

DOVENBY, UK - M-Sport Ford World Rally Team and WRC Promoter are set to launch the first episode of a new online series, titled ‘More than Machine’, a six-episode deep dive into the reality of running a team competing at the top-level of the FIA World Rally Championship.

Produced in partnership with SafetyCulture by Superlative Films, the docuseries will be shown on WRC’s YouTube Channel, and it follows the daily lives of drivers, engineers, technicians, and other team members behind-the-scenes on WRC events and at the team’s base in Cumbria, UK.

The first episode, set to be released on August 22nd, jumps right in at the 2024 WRC season’s third round in Kenya. Following not only the drivers, but also co-drivers, team managers, and people from across the M-Sport contingent, ‘More than Machine’ will bring never-before-told stories to life.

Malcolm Wilson OBE, M-Sport Managing Director, said: “I’m very proud to see the creation of this insightful series about what it takes to be a World Rally Team. Showcasing the hard work and tenacity of the team, as well as introducing some of the characters we have is a pleasure to watch.

“Up until now the WRC has not delved into the backstories of the people who make the operation work, so having the chance to show this to a global audience is something very special. I hope everyone enjoys watching our journeys in WRC as much as we have enjoyed working with the production team on it.”

Richard Millener, M-Sport Ford World Rally Team Principal, said: “We’re very lucky to have this opportunity to tell all the incredible stories behind our fantastic team. On rallies there’s so much that happens behind-the-scenes in the service park that the fans don’t get to see, and I believe this series will do a lot to bring people even closer to the sport.

“We’re only really scratching the surface, but by telling these stories and getting to know the people who run the cars and make the rally happen, we’re opening ourselves up to an even bigger fan base. There are real, human stories to tell here, and I’m so pleased we’re now able to document them.”
