Reigning FIA Junior World Rally Champion Mille Johansson of Sweden will complete his maiden WRC2 campaign with Italian outfit MS Munaretto, driving a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 in three additional FIA World Rally Championship events in 2026. Combined with his four-event programme with M-Sport Ford World Rally Team, this forms a full seven-round, points-scoring WRC2 season.
Together with co-driver Johan Grönvall, Mille competed in the 2025 FIA European Rally Championship as well as the Italian Gravel Championship with MS Munaretto, gaining valuable Rally2 experience ahead of his WRC2 campaign this season.
Mille and Johan were already confirmed for four WRC2 rounds with M-Sport, awarded as part of their FIA Junior WRC title in 2025: Sweden, Croatia, Portugal and Finland.
The newly announced programme with MS Munaretto adds WRC events in the Canary Islands, Greece and Estonia, as well as the team’s home ERC round, Rally di Roma Capitale, and potential additional Rally2 outings throughout the season, using the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 which Mille already drove in 2025.
Mille Johansson says:
“It feels really good to continue the collaboration with MS Munaretto. We’ve already worked together and I feel very comfortable within the team. It’s a professional group that works hard, so I’m really looking forward to continuing to develop together throughout the season.
Of course, it’s very exciting and motivating to have the opportunity to compete in a full WRC2 season. It’s something I’ve been aiming for for a long time, and it will be interesting to measure myself against strong competition and gain more experience at this level.
The goal is to keep developing together with the team and take steps forward during the season. At the same time, we want to be fighting for strong results whenever the opportunity is there.”
Alex Munaretto, MS Munaretto Team Principal, says:
“We are very happy to have Mille and Johan back with MS Munaretto. We already share a strong working relationship, and it’s great to continue this journey together as Mille takes another major step forward in his career.
A full WRC2 season is a big challenge, and our role is to make sure they have everything they need to grow: a solid team around them, clear processes, strong preparation and the right technical support at every stage of the programme. Mille has shown great potential, and our focus will be to help him turn that potential into performance and consistency across different rallies and conditions. We’re proud to be part of this project and we can’t wait to get started.”
The next event for Mille and Johan is WRC Rally Croatia 9 – 12 of April, with M-Sport Ford World Rally Team.
