Puma teams up with Ford

Sportswear firm Puma has reinforced its deal with Ford’s World Rally Championship team, after extending its existing supplier contract.

The partnership with Ford Team RS has been extended after its first season in mechanic and team footwear to now include fireproof racewear and fireproof rally driver and co-driver boots, as well as performance teamwear and outerwear for the entire team.

Said the team’s Malcolm Wilson: "As a result of the good partnership, we have decided to extend the deal with Puma.

“The World Rally Championship is one of the most demanding and challenging motorsport competitions worldwide. It is therefore crucial for our drivers and team to have high quality, functional gear."
