is tänak finally running on dmack´s or is he also on michelin?

If you take a close look of the picture you see which ones he is using.

A source at M-Sport said: "This was Ott's entry car for the event. We don't know too much about what happened, but the damage isn't too bad. The car won't run again today simply because we have to focus on getting it ready for the start. He was supposed to do around 70km or something, but I'm not sure how much he did in the end, but it was not that much."

if i´d know what dmack´s look like maybe. but i see nothing blue on it, so i guess it´s not michelin...

[Mirek]

It is Michelin. The tread is slightly different and also the label is visible, just have a closer look

By the way Melichárek will be on DMack with 207 S2000. It probably won't say anything about them, so it's just an information.

btw, on official facebook page of M-Sport Ford WRT it's said, that Tänak runs with Michelin's (not said, but one of main sponsor logos on car is Michelin's) and will do all the 13 rallies of the season.

[darkstar]

ok, that´s perfect...honestly, i still can´t identify any michelin logo on that tires, even if i zomm 1000%, but ok :

but here´s tänaks livery, says it all:

I think it's not so big issue. Can't remember any top driver who doesn't crash on tests at least from time to time. It's part of the game

Haha, yeah I guess so:-)

Very nice livery ! A black Fiesta WRC for a whole year
