Everyone who has a role to play in M-Sport Ford’s World Rally Championship campaign will be doing everything they can to help Ott Tanak get his title bid back on track on his home round next month. 

M-Sport Ford’s Ott Tanak has likened sections of this coming weekend’s Safari Rally Kenya – the seventh round of the FIA World Rally Championship – to “driving on the moon”.

From this week’s Rally Estonia, World Rally Championship teams are to be given more time to work on those Rally1 hybrid cars that have been retired from either the Friday or Saturday leg.

M-Sport Ford Team Principal Richard Millener says his team will bounce back from the disappointment of witnessing three of their four Puma Rally1 cars being struck down with a variety of issues on the opening day of Safari Rally Kenya.
