A certain UAE state will be back supporting M-Sport if I haven't mentioned already :D
Qatar ? Abu Dhabi ?Quote:

A lot of interviews with Tänak last night and some more information. This is what he said: The deal was basically already signed after Rally Spain, he is very happy about the deal because it its very important to be in the picture in 2016 to get a good deal for 2017. The speed was there this season but now he needs to put it together with consistency and make it into good results. The car, mechanics, inseners etc all will be same as this year. The only difference from other m-sport guys is just that he is driving with Dmacks. He expects the beginning of the season to be very though, expects to be on the pace on fast gravel rallies which suit the dmack tyres. Test days will be together with m-sport and it starts next weekend.
With this you can see where the 'M-Sport to run Dmacks' rumours came from. It's half true ;)
It seems both Tanak and Dmack are auditioning themselves ahead of 2017. M-Sport will get a really good look at those tyres for 12 months - especially if they are testing together.
Oh sh!t, sorry I mean Middle East country.... damn it. You got me on that one...
Rallylink.it had a chat with Bertelli about his 2016 MSport program: Pirelli tyres and a new codriver (Simone Scattolin).
I figured he would still be on Pirellis but good to see it confirmed. Lots of different tyres under the M-Sport service awning next year then.
That's actually very good for M-Sport. It has direct comparison; as a privateer-oriented team they can offer their customers better services based on experience with various tyres and in the end they can take sponsorship money from differend tyre manufacturers using several satelite teams :)Quote:
