M-Sport’s Sesks Takes the Wheel – And Kicks Off a Non-Hybrid Sales Fiesta!

In a delightful twist that even Shakespeare would applaud, Mārtiņš Sesks’ escapade at Rally Poland successfully turned into a roaring sales pitch for a non-hybrid Rally1 car! You heard it right—this speedy contraption, akin to the affordable sneakers of the racing world, has raced right into a customer’s heart.

Sesks, in a dazzling display of driving prowess, didn’t just leave spectators gasping; he kickstarted the engines of excitement for this budget-friendly beauty, and now M-Sport Ford is celebrating its first sale of a non-hybrid Rally1 to a shiny new owner! Break out the confetti!

So, who’s the lucky new driver? Enter Putra Rizky, who’s officially joined the exclusive club of private Puma owners, alongside Jourdan Serderidis. Rizky didn’t just joyride into this deal; he made the call to M-Sport while supposedly enjoying a sweet family holiday in Edinburgh, scoping out the local sights as well as the local motorsport—but who could blame him for multitasking?!

The excitement was palpable when Rizky called M-Sport’s car sales chief, Tom Krawszik, like a kid asking how soon they can get ice cream. “How soon can we have the car, please?!” they clamored, eager to hit the track faster than a caffeinated rabbit. This kicked off a frenzy of logistics that would impress even the most organized of event planners: the car had to be raced back from Estonia, stripped, painted, and refitted faster than you can say “fast and fabulous” within just two weeks!

And wouldn’t you know it? The stars aligned! Sesks and Rizky already had a casual acquaintance, thanks to Sesks’ rally shenanigans in Indonesia, giving credibility to the sale—like having a friend recommend a great pizza joint (everyone needs a pizza friend!).

Now M-Sport’s got their fingers crossed that Rizky’s shiny new toy sparks a domino effect, leading to a stampede of orders for those non-hybrid Rally1 Pumas. They’re hoping to create new fans worldwide the way you’d introduce friends to a knockout Netflix series. Krawszik was practically bursting with joy, saying, “Malcolm is over the moon about this; we hope people see this car tearing up the national championship like a cat in a laser pointer chase!”

With all the buzz surrounding the Puma, it’s kind of like letting the secret out about the best taco truck in town—everyone will want in! M-Sport team principal Richard Millener echoed the sentiments of a proud parent, stating how fantastic it felt to see that Puma out there and attributed the whole successful sale to the spectacular showing by Sesks in Poland. A round of applause for a job well done!

So, here’s to more glorious non-hybrid Rally1 adventures and, hopefully, a thrilling Pyrrhic victory parade of orders rolling in like a never-ending buffet line where everyone’s invited!
