The cars were prepared and run by the Cumbria based M-Sport operation and Martin Christie is the team principal.

The Munchi's Ford World Rally Team was founded by Argentine rally driver Luís Pérez Companc, using the name of his family's ice cream parlor chain, Munchi's[3] (which name had been taken from the nickname of María Sundblad, Pérez Companc's wife).

The drivers who started the season for the team at the Rally Sweden were Pérez Companc and Juan Pablo Raies.

Federico Villagra drove all ten rounds for the team, while Luís Pérez Companc, who also began driving in the FIA GT Championship in 2008, shared the second car with Stobart Ford regular Henning Solberg, Aris Vovos and Barry Clark, the reigning Fiesta Sporting Trophy International champion, who contested 3 rounds of the championship for the team.

With a healthy amount of experience under their belts and the competitiveness of the Ford Focus RS WRC, the Argentinean duo of Villagra and Companc gathered a strong haul of 23 points in the 2009 season.
