TÄNAK IN HYUNDAI
Ott Tänak could be close to a return to Hyundai for the 2024 season.
It is no mystery that the relationship between Tänak and M-Sport has taken a turn for the worse and that the Estonian driver has every possibility of not renewing his contract with the English team at the end of 2023.
Hyundai, on the other hand, is looking to hire a second top driver to join Neuville and Esapekka Lappi. The team first tried negotiations with Kalle Rovanperä and then with Sebastien Ogier without however finding success.
Undoubtedly Tänak is a top driver and the adequate economic offer can arrive.
In the second part of the 2022 season, Tänak expressed his desire to leave Hyundai and in fact moved to M-Sport.
His return would seem possible thanks to the figure of Cyril Abiteboul, Hyundai team principal, who arrived at the start of the current season.
The negotiation between Ott Tänak and Hyundai Motorsport could already be at an advanced stage.
The news was released by Areacorse.com

Probably yes, but IF subaru actually is planning for a comeback, AND Petter is building facilites for that, a own Rally2 team would make very much sense as a warm-up for what to come.

Own facilities and Rally2 team with new Toyota wrc2 car would sound logical then..?

With the way Hyundai seem reinvested in the WRC, and the continued expansion of their technical staff etc, it wouldn't surprise me if Cyrll pushes the boat out to have a lineup consisting of Neuville, Tanak and Ogier.

Whether that is Ogier sharing a 4th car for another part season, or he can be tempted back for a full season, who knows. Maybe they wont have money for all 3, but you can be sure Abiteboul will be asking the question to the big bosses in Korea......
