🗣️ “We haven’t got the strength in depth and resource to challenge for the manufacturers title so we are putting everything into going for the drivers’” M-Sport has outlined its 2023 WRC targets ⬇️
by securing 2019 world champion Tanak following a shock departure from Hyundai at the end of last season.The team has elected to field only two full-time manufacturer entries this year, with Tanak joined by French rising starTeam boss Malcolm Wilson says the reason behind the decision to scale back to two full-time entries is to provide the best opportunity for Tanak to launch a bid for the drivers’ title.
In doing so, the 2017 WRC manufacturer champions has switched its 2023 focus, after admitting its unrealistic to challenge Toyota and Hyundai for this year’s manufacturers’ championship given the gulf in resources. “For sure, [we want to be in the title mix] and that is only why we are running two manufacturer registered cars on probably most of the rallies,” Wilson told Autosport.
"I’ve got to be honest I am putting all of our effort in trying to get rally wins and to try and get him [] the drivers’ title. We want to give him the best opportunity and by doing that it gives him more test days so that is clearly the target. “We haven’t got the strength in depth and resource to challenge for the manufacturers title so we are putting everything into going for the drivers’ and event wins.”Wilson is, however, eagerly anticipated a return to Monte Carlo this week for the season opener, the venue where his team last scored a victory courtesy of Sebastien Loeb’s triumph last year.
