    In 2019, Citroen said they will target it in addition to WDC (or at least that it was possible) but it was impossible.
    M-Sport is quite honest on that point and on their situation, it’s logical. All on Tanak, a backed driver in the 2nd one and whatever client pays in the 3rd one but not as a manufacturer entry. And even for Loubet, I think he is here because they won’t be credible without a 2nd reasonable car and because they are forced to have a 2nd car everywhere by the regulation; else, they may even have not taken him if they could have.
    Loubet also has some budget as far as I know, so he covers part of the cost and has some future potential so is a good fit for the 2nd nominated car.

    The impact of the cost of Tanak on M-Sport's ability to run multiple entries cant be ignored. It's not just all-in with Tanak on the sporting level, but also the financial one.

    Everyone is glad they brought him into the team for the sake of the 2023 WRC, so need to cut them some slack in terms of the others they are able to employ.

    Same suit they gave to Fourmaux and Breen in testing/promotional material before 2022.
