Martin Prokop has been racing Ford in Dakar since 2017, finishing 5th this year. I don't understand how he wasn't the first to be taken on the team? Big miss from Ford.
Great first episode, looking forward to seeing more of the Raptor T1+ and the preparation ahead. The Dakar and the W2RC next year are going to be insane!
Except this is M-sport, not Ford. They prepare other brands for racing too. BTW the only thing good american motorsport brought to the racing game is the V8 NA!
@@joelfernando1 it's a Collab actually. And ford has been very engaged in races these couple years they have the mustang GT3, the Ford lightning and this raptor decar
If only there was someone racing Ford in Dakar since 2017 who would tell them how to build a car that can finish in top 5 wizhout any factory support. Oh well, if only...
Why can’t they make something like this for production? Proper suspension and real racing components and engine! Make a road going real rally car and a real trophy truck and they would sell like hotcakes even if they cost $100k they would be worth it, not the production garbage they make right now!
$100k? That's what an F150 Raptor R costs, or just over what a Bronco Raptor costs - I assure you, they would cost multiple times that. A modern Trophy Truck costs $1M, that isn't exaggerating or hyperbole, they straight up cost $1M for a 'typical' TT and go beyond that for the bleeding edge trucks. I don't know what a from scratch bespoke T1+ build costs, but I'm sure they aren't an awful lot cheaper than a TT. "Production garbage" is hilarious though, talk about taking things for granted. We're in the golden era of the gearhead, and no one cares.
Sell like what? Don't let the enthusiast bubble fool you. Regular folk can't shell out 100k on a trophy truck. Most people have got more pressing things to pay for.
They sell rally2 cars for anyone, but they cost over 200k. Top class WRC cars cost over million to make, and I don't think they sell those to anyone. But rally cars have to be road legal, so you could buy one for daily driving.
Okay so they basically copied the BRX Hunter and just slapped some minor Ford shapes and badges on it. Toyota's Hilux, all made and developed in South Africa, will still bury it in the dunes...

Love that ford is in Dakar now
Ford has been in the Dakar for years. Especially Dakar that was in south America
Theres always been a Ford in Dakar, just not in the spotlight.
@@wookyfeet1416 ohh ok

You had me at M-Sport. I look forward to watching Dakar 2025 with Ford in it.
That thing is a beast! GO FORD!!!!!!!
It was great to follow Ford and M-Sport at this year's Dakar so we're looking forward to supporting from the UK again next January!
El Raptor es un Monstruo!! Da gusto verlo correr!! parece un toro bravo, es adictivo!
That’s why FORD is number 1
After making 6th place twice as a Privateer driving a Ford, I hope there's an offer for Martin Prokop to drive one of these!
love these series.
Wow! Had no idea Ford was doing this! Awesome!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great video and so good to see M-Sport getting the full Ford factory programme. Definitely got my support for Dakar 2025 💪
A lot of respect to Ford
got to see it in person, sounded absolutely bonkers
No mistake about it, thats Sainz Sr. their second driver!
El Matador!
Yes i think so, the voice so familiar.
Yes, it's been announced a while back.
Isn't it Snr?
Lol if it is . Hahaha he will show all competetors what facing A REAL OFF ROADS DRIVING goat in a FORD
Great first episode, looking forward to seeing more of the Raptor T1+ and the preparation ahead. The Dakar and the W2RC next year are going to be insane!
I just love a Ford and I love M-Sport
I know this is going to be good 💯
Can't wait
Roma and carlos all the best
Here everyone thought you were building a Mustang Raptor. That thing looks amazing!
Big thumbs up for Ford !
This is why Ford is the best American car manufacturer: you don’t see the others compete in these kind of races
Except this is M-sport, not Ford. They prepare other brands for racing too. BTW the only thing good american motorsport brought to the racing game is the V8 NA!
@@joelfernando1it’s Ford dude all manufacturers use teams to handle the racing not just Ford it’s part of it
Car manufacturer? CAR?
@@joelfernando1 it's a Collab actually. And ford has been very engaged in races these couple years they have the mustang GT3, the Ford lightning and this raptor decar
@@mvm006 it's based on the raptor trucks
Ford in 24h Le Mans, Dakar, and finally in Formula 1
3:58 RAPTOR!!!!!
What an incredible sound! I'd love to see the exhaust system. 180 degree headers? 8 into 1 header? What's the secret?
El Matador!
Carlos Sainz!!!!
9:13 Carlos Sainz!!!!!!!
V8 N/A 😍
Carlos Sr.!!!!!!
What an awesome vehicle, I love my Ecoboost truck and expedition, but I’m so glad they are going the the coyote on this!
This is so awesome
Yeahhhhhhh
Ford vs Toyota in Dakar. Let’s go!!!!
Very excited for this effort
That amazing
I’ll be cheering for you guys 👍
Excellent
Go ! 👍🏻🇺🇸🫡
RAPTOR!!!!
Cool, cool.......... can we get this instead of the lighting.
Looks more like a Raptor had "relations" with a Mustang. 😄
It does look really cool though.
dr The Ultimate Raptor now you can change the world
congrats 💅🏼
Cool Raptor, sure - but what’s the support truck?Transit? E Series? (…SuperVan?)
Some live it some still dream off it , 👍
Dakar growing more than wrc
ford is already in dakar..with martin prokop team...
Big difference between being in a Ford branded car and Ford themselves being there.
Good luck to all concerned.
how many races will this beast go to?
Is this for Dakar only, or the full W2RC series?
Full season because they're not a certain manufacturer from Ingolstadt 😂😂
Martin Prokop from Czech Republic is your driver...
Hey, Ford, would u want to send a rookie team with an electric Mustang ralley to dakar?
i would love to see toby price in the t1 class one of these years.
I wonder if they'll change the WRC CARS down the line
I don't think the Fox suspension system is unreliable for the Dakar, he considered that Reiger is the ideal suspension for the Dakar.
👍👍
I would have liked a truck body more.
Only thing Raptor about this is maybe the cab. And the name.
They should make an unlimited class so Trophy Trucks can compete aswell
Should test this in Baja 1000 also
Been there, done that
Sainz Sr sounds a lot like his son.
Just take it South Africa rally raid championship to fight against locally developed hilux amarok and rangers. If it wins...then
It’s goons win for sure
Gonna*
Would've looked better with Reigers on it.
Ford should do a mustang raptor and bring back the falcon
😊💯💯💯👍
They have been there before as privateers and done.....ok. Let's see what M-Sport can do.
Me gustaría que se pareciera más a la de serie
Mustang raptor development.
Just bring the Baja trophy truck to Dakar
Better hire Robby Gordon to drive
Glad they skipped the ecoboost on this and went with the V8.
Which is a mistake
If you total that vehicle you can give it to me..
Just hit me up if or when it happens
How about the one south Africa neil Woolridge
Should have had the Ford GT twin turbo v6, not a v8.

One of these in race form is best part of 1.5m each easy. Road versions would be at least 2 by the time a couple of creature comforts are built in
