Former World rally champion Estonian Ott Tanak has returned to the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team and along with co-driver Martin Jarveoja, will spearhead the team’s 2023 WRC campaign. 

Three weeks ago M-Sport and Irish driver Craig Breen, who led the team through a difficult season, parted company (a year early) in a mutual agreement. Tanak was always in the frame to return and the Dovenby based team will be hoping his knowledge and ability will provide the inspiration for success in 2023.
