Tanak slips up on Monte testing

Ott Tänak crashed his Ford Fiesta RS WRC during testing on Friday morning in preparation for the Monte Carlo Rally.

The damage as seen here (pic) was to the left-front and Tänak will not be  running in testing again. The M-Sport team is now focusing on preparing for the event itself.



A source at M-Sport said: "This was Ott's entry car for the event. We don't know too much about what happened, but the damage isn't too bad. The car won't run again today simply because we have to focus on getting it ready for the start. He was supposed to do around 70km or something, but I'm not sure how much he did in the end, but it was not that much."

Tanak's car will be running in a black livery similar to that run on the factory Fords on Rally France last season.

The Estonian is starting his first full season in a World Rally Car, having finished sixth in a Fiesta WRC on Rally GB last November.
