Tänak to compete in ERC in Ypres
Ott Tänak will make a third FIA European Rally Championship appearance when he takes part in the Kenotek by CID Lines Ypres Rally later this month.
The 28-year-old is a regular in the World Rally Championship, currently driving for the Dmack World Rally Team which has entered him for Ypres (23-25 June) in a Ford Fiesta R5.
While more accustomed to its WRC bigger brother, Tänak knows the R5-specification Fiesta well having campaigned one in 2014, when he made ERC appearances on home soil on auto24 Rally Estonia, which he won, and Barum Czech Rally Zlín, which he finished in seventh place.
Tänak won't be the first driver from the top level of the WRC to appear in the ERC this season. Mads Østberg took part in the season-opening Rally Islas Canarias El Corte Inglés and led before crashing out, while Craig Breen returned to the series for the Circuit of Ireland and won.
