I think M-Sport are the only likely user of DMACKs on certain events (and maybe just on one car).

I cant see Michelin agreeing to anything but a full supply with the factory teams.

@DMACK_Tyres

Interesting WRC stats: last year we scored fastest times on 6 rallies, this year 7.

A DMACK driver has scored the third highest amount of WRC stage wins for 2 years in a row....

MN confirming what I said a few days ago:

DMACK to step back from full-time WRC in 2018

@DMACK_Tyres
We reached all our goals in WRC 2017, won first event, fastest times on 7 rallies, led 4 rallies, 3 podiums. Next year no DMACK WRC car but we focus on product development & commercial...

In the interview Cormack gave some impressive info... like rally tyre sales to 72 countries, many National championship wins and the plan to continue in WRC with the aim of winning the Championship. ...

Dick Cormack stated this week that there will not be a DMACK sponsored WRC car in 2018.

He said he is talking with various WRC teams about running one of their car's with his tyres.

I guess...

These guys and their tyres deserve a mention... :champion:

This was the distance @ElfynEvans missed out on a debut @OfficialWRC victory in Argentina - 19.1 metres after 3 days of rally !
...

Get your facts right (and your spelling).

I dont see why not. McCormack says the tyres are competitive on all events now and Evans must have great confidence after Argentina.

MSport already have two tyres in a way as Evans is nominated for Manu points.. :)

Interesting quote:

DMack boss confident of gravel tyre on all events:

New DMACK Hard for arduous asphalt adventure

https://medium.com/@rallyinguk/new-dmack-hard-for-arduous-asphalt-adventure-ff98fa175faa#.blry6az22

As well as the penalty, Evans also lost 1.36 on the first gravel stage with road cleaning and overheating issues...

He was happy with the tyre progress though..
...

I really hope Dmack have produced a decent tarmac tyre this year as Evans has shown some good speed on this surface at times.

He also deserves some good luck as he's had nothing but ill-fortune so...

BRC twitter:
Defending BRC1 champion DMACK will be eager to defend its title in 2017. Rather than running its own team, the Carlisle firm has opted to spread its knowledge and support several teams...

Check out the BRC thread for updates.

To compare...

Tanak's DMACK record in 2016:
2 / 2nds, 2 / 5ths, 2 / 6ths, 2 / 7ths and 1 / 10th from 13 events. Note that in Poland and GB tyres were ultra competitive.

If anyone is critical of him so far this season, please remember that Elfyn Evans has moved from an R5 straight to WRC17 rally car this year. Hell of a change to cope with.
