Eric Camilli and Teemu Suninen will compete for M-Sport in WRC2 this season, the British squad has confirmed.
Camilli stepped up to WRC with M-Sport in 2016 but endured a challenging campaign and scored points in only six rallies, placing 11th in the final standings.
“The important thing for me this year is to continue to gain as much experience of as many FIA World Rally Championship events as possible,” said Camilli.
“In rallying, experience is everything and it will be really important for me to continue this progression.
Suninen, who competed in WRC2 in a Skoda Fabia R5 and finished runner-up with three victories, is hoping to go one better in 2017.
“I’m very grateful for this opportunity and very happy to join the M-Sport team,” he said.
“They’ve offered me an excellent programme for the year ahead and there are some very exciting times to come.
“My goal for this season is to improve on last year when I finished second in the WRC 2 championship.
“I know that it will be a big challenge, but with more experience under my belt I feel ready and in a good position.”
