Ott Tänak - Future champion?

[Tarmop]

He has to, i believe there was a rule that No. 1 is supposed to be used by no. 1.

...and it is nr. 1 afterall...

F1 has no such rule, champion can take 1, but Hamilton is still using #44

But I believe Ott will take 1. Big marketing value!!!

Regulations given an option not to chose it, but who wouldn't?

I don't think it's only one-and-only key parameter there.

"Turning point" includes at least:
- Analyze and experience from previous (mistakes)
- Match with Martin
- Being (important) part of development of new car - clear understanding why and how something works
- Ogier as team-mate

One more really important parameter - personal trainer (physical & mental) Tarmo Tiits. Picked from Tänak's interview to estonian media.

Does the DVD included some extras besides the movie?

They should make a sequel to original movie

Yes, look at the price - 40€. They really are milking it. It says the dvd includes the movie + extra disc with interviews with rallyworld persons, Ott's family and Ott himself that weren't included in the movie + extra scenes and clips that weren't in the movie + an extensive photobook + an introduction of the people interviewed in the movie. The total length of the new content isn't mentioned but it says they filmed for more than 150h.

After Ott's title it was also mentioned in Estonian media that the end of the movie will be edited. Ott's WDC will be added to it somehow.

E: Päss was faster

Probably biggest chunk that was missing from his movie was his involvement with russian Syrus Rally Team. It didnt work out. Blame was thrown afterwards both ways but today Ott is champ and most people dont even remember this team any more.

Do you already know when to test the Hyundai i20 WRC for the first time?

Tänak: Our contracts run until the end of the year. But manufacturers usually agree that drivers can test for their new team earlier. We are talking about that right now. If everything works out, I should be in Hyundai for the first time before Christmas.
