WRC Chile win "can only help" M-Sport’s future
The M-Sport Ford squad achieved their first victory since February’s Rally Sweden triumph, ending a difficult run of results. The team had faced misfortune and reliability issues throughout the season, but driver Ott Tanak and co-driver Martin Jarveoja dominated the gravel roads of Chile, thanks to a strategic decision to use hard tires. Tanak described it as a nearly perfect weekend, with a different kind of challenge requiring management skills. The victory has boosted morale for M-Sport, although their future in the World Rally Championship is still uncertain. Team founder Malcolm Wilson emphasized their commitment to the Rally1 program and expressed hope for a strong lineup next year.
