Rally: M-Sport confirms Ott Tänak and Elfyn Evans in 2015 WRCEven before Mikko Hirvonen’s recent retirement, speculation linked Tänak with a Ford Fiesta RS seat following impressive World Rally Car appearances in Sweden and Portugal this year.
Tänak drove with M-Sport in 2012 but was dropped after an accident-prone season. He returned to the championship this year, primarily in WRC 2, with a more mature attitude and guided by new co-driver Raigo Mõlder. Friday, M-Sport confirmed Tänak would be a Ford driver in 2015, alongside Briton Elfyn Evans. Tänak replaces veteran Mikko Hirvonen who decided to stop his WRC career after the last WRC event, the Wales GB Rally. |
