this season reminded me 2018 in a way....
huge gap to the championship leaders already after 1st rally, then had a great come back like in 2018 with two second places and a win and was just 13 points down.
and then the car issues two rallies in a row which completely eliminated him from the championship again.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

Next season drivers title will be very interesting, we have 4 drivers who could have won (or did) already this year and are really hungry to get it next year. Also we have the '17 car era ending with both Hyundai and Toyota pretty much in equal terms and I wouldn't count the 5th driver out this upcoming championship battle

some statistics what Ott achieved with the Arctic win because you know why not, cause we have a huge gap to Croatia.
it was his 14th victory, got past Petter Solberg with that and is on par with Walter Röhrl. Next up is Mikko Hirvonen with 15 wins.
first time that he lead a rally from start to finish, last man to do it was Evans last year on Rally Sweden and before that Ogier in 2018 in Monte and Corsica. Total 27 drivers have achieved this.
and last but at not least, he has now won 11 different rallies. Latvala has 12, Grönholm 12, Sainz 13, Ogier 18 and of course the king Loeb has 23.#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

you guys can also now watch the left out material from the movie, which is called the series https://netikino.ee/otttanak_themovie_series?lang=en
i definitely recommend it, IMO its maybe even better than the movie material...theres more behind the scenes stuff, like how he goes to the president ball with his wife, what they do on recce and between the stages and etc, gravel crew stuff and BluufordLast edited by EstWRC; 23rd May 2021 at 18:41.

A bit pre-mature IMHO but still interesting none the less:

If history can teach us anything, Tänak can take the fight back, but he'll have to pull something special with no DNF's until the rest of the season.Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

although he managed to reduce similar kind of points gap in 2018, i dont see it happening this yearLast edited by EstWRC; 5th June 2021 at 21:14.

Yeah it's almost done for Ott unfortunately. Ogier finishing on the podium in Portugal and winning Sardinia should send fear through the other challengers.
Ofcourse anything can happen in rallying, but this is Seb. And even if Seb falters, Tanak has to overhaul Thierry and Evans too. I think he has too much to do.
Variety. With 4-5 tarmac rallies in calendar, it's good to have some successor to circuit-like Catalunya. Rally wasn't super interesting but wasn't that bad either, I liked saturday stages more....
