A new addition to the Yuasa Racing family for 2020 will be the Yuasa Rally team in the MSA British Rally Championship. Last year saw Matt Edwards win back-to-back championships. The Yuasa Rally Team name will enter the sport for the first time as the title sponsor of M-Sport’s BRC operation. The team will tackle stages across the UK, Ireland and Belgium in the all-new Ford Fiesta R5 MkII carrying Yuasa’s distinctive red, white and black livery, made popular in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
