They made their debut at theââ2012 Rally of Sweden, entering single CitroĂ«n DS3 WRC for Nasser Al-Attiyah and co-driver Giovanni Bernacchini. Al-Attiyah was unable to contest the "full season," owing to his qualification for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and the car was variously driven by, Chris Atkinson in Finland, Thierry Neuville in New Zealand and Italy, and Hans Weijs, "Jr." in Spain.
On 26 November 2012, British based M-Sport announced a new partnership with the State of Qatar. And that Mads Ăstberg and Nasser Al-Attiyah would be driving Ford Fiesta RS WRCs for the 2013 season. The team expanded to include a third and "a fourth car," submitting entries for Juho HĂ€nninen and Thierry Neuville.
