Silly Season 2026

[Odd]

Haha not even a part time drive. Dont worry he owns RedGrey which is competing in wrc2 already. He can do some outings in the future with his own team. Thank you for everything Ott.

Something is wrong here, 1st Kalle and now Ott, wrc is dying.

I’m in shock at the moment, don’t even have any words to say

This is the last option I was expecting

I guess that is what's best for him, he smiled much more recently. I can imagine Ott being glad of not having to drive this village team's car again.
I think it's still possible to see him back in 2027 with the new cars, if not then it's full retirement.

“This is not a final goodbye to rallying. It’s simply a chance to reset, recharge and refocus. I still love the sport deeply and I’m sure I’ll continue to be around in one way or another. Rallying will always be a part of me and I’ll always be proud of what we’ve achieved together.

This sounds like he would do some rallies?

[denkimi]

Who knows. Maybe he will be bored out of his mind in 6 months. Or maybe he won't, and he'll never return.

amazing words at Otts announcement,very emotional.Wish the best to him.

If Seb leaves also that means 3 WDC out of the sport and only 1 (Thierry ) stay. The lack of Manus and FIA mistakes destroys our sport,shame.

[Kras]

Gotta feel sorry for Solberg and Formaux. Imagine emerging as top new talent in a dying sport.

I can't even imagine how boring next year is gonna be

[Morte66]

1 (Thierry ) stay.

The month is young. And he's been smiling a lot this year too, as cars fell apart under him.
