    Wow... this story. Here's one for the people that said someone is "machining" a PR campaign against TGR. I'm happy for Tänak.

    Just amazing how this seemingly made-in-heaven relationship could go so bad.

    It must've been so strange for them both working together the last few weeks, knowing it was all about to end.

    I bet Tanak learned at lot from Ogier in how to demand the best from your team, but it seems TMR couldnt handle it and broke the bond.

    Nothing in rally will ever surprise me now.

    haha Danos the biggest troll

    Sunday morning @RallyRACC
    I give the first instruction to @OttTanak
    ... that he will not respect!
    Ott, be careful, from now on you will have to listen to your teammates
    ��


    Nice to welcome you with Martin at @HMSGOfficial

    Among other things, Toyota wasted the marketing opportunity to become the Citroen of 00s or the VW of the 10s. If Ott had dominated for years with Toyota, everyone would have said Ott is good because of Toyota. And that would have been a guaranteed thing because Ott is indeed good. Now that he will go to Hyundai and most likely continue fighting for titles as he has always done, this will be for nothing even if he should return to Toyota, because the cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows Ott is winning because he's Ott, not because his car is better. Toyota absolutely needed to secure him. The most shocking part is that TGR management were dragging their feet about Ott's contract in the spring like they weren't even serious about him. To me it already occurred when he had to fight for the top driver spot with Latvala and Meeke in the beginning of the season. As Sordo would say, what were they smoking over there?

    Some doubts if Jouhki/TMR and Tanak/MMM crews will ever have co-operation again. If there is some sort of relationship war, it might lead to all sorts of weird situations in lower rally markets that originally have no connection to this relationship.

    next year will answered plenty of questions about what share at Tanak/yaris speed had the driver/car.

    About the ''steal'' we have to know more details,to see if its a ''steal'' or just Tanak/Martin show interest for running the project,in conjuction with the renewal of his contract with Toyota
    Yes, but why so vocal. What Tanak does doesn't really affect him or his drivers.

    Tänak has always been incredibly fast. Even before Toyota. The big difference is that now he can stay on the road.

    Also Ogier if he goes to Toyota. Has he the raw speed that Tanak has?

    Like Dimvii said we will see this next season.
    The short answer is you never win a title with a slow driver and a car. It must be both.
