He's indeed a nice fella and showed signs of progress by year end, but having him lead the team is a stretch, to say the least. Unless they pull out an outstanding second driver from nowhere, this definitely looks like a "survival year" for MSport ...

They ptobably come up with Greensmith or Loubet.. But lets hope for Sesks, Mikkelsen or Lappi

According to Dirtfish the second driver will be announced tomorrow

If you read the article of Dirtfish, M-sport said "another promising junior crew". Therefore, from this statement, IMO it is unlikely Mikkelsen or Lappi. It is either Sesks or Turkkan (I know it is a long shot but that was the first name came to my mind when I saw the word junior and given the connections with his team Castrol Ford Team Turkey and M-sport and in addition his recent test with Rally1 in UK).

However, I dont think Turkkan will be doing a full season (instead I think, there will be some rallies in Rally1 next year for him and most of the season will still be in JWRC or WRC3)

ah mate, no oli, no sesks (probably). that sucks
wrc2 to be cool then, but so little coverage. is rallyTV doing the half hour wrc2 highlights still??

I wonder if it will be Josh McErlean or Jon Armstrong. Both have backing from Motorsport Ireland, and both were present in Japan with Instagram posts talking about "good experience for the future" or similar. I could definitely see one of them taking the seat, and either would be better than Munster.

Well, it seems next announcement (tomorrow?) will be bigger surprise than Munster. That´s why he was allowed to have this day in the limelight alone, going out first in the presentations.

Somebody is flying under the radar. 😁

Turkkan has barely any R5/Rally2 experience. 6 rallies with Fiesta R5 in 2022, 1 rally with Fiesta Rally2 in 2024, for the rest of the past 2 years he drove Fiesta Rally3.
Is he really going for Rally1 without even a single season on Rally2? He probably can, money wise, but I don't know if he should.

I hope the second seat will be given to Sesks, but I think Armstrong has a chance, for many years he's been works driver of M-Sport in lower classes.
