Despite only finishing fastest on one stage, OttTanak claimed WRC victory at RallySweden - the first win for MSportLtd in over a year. Report ⬇️
The Estonian delivered a measured and faultless drive to come through a tense head-to-head with Hyundai’s Craig Breen, that dominated the majority of the weekend.
Tanak started the rally strongly, ending Thursday’s opening stage just 1.6s behind Toyota's Kalle Rovanpera. But the 2019 world champion stormed into the rally lead by the time crews returned to the service park on Friday morning. Craig Breen excelled on his first WRC outing of 2023 but lost touch with Tanak on Saturday after this momentA lucky escape from a snowbank on Stage 12, and a tyre delamination on Stage 13, followed by a loss of hybrid power, hampered Breen and allowed Tanak, who was lucky to survive a puncture on Stage 15, to reclaim the lead.
A mistake on the final stage almost proved costly but he managed to reach the finish in third, 20.0s adrift. Following the Hyundai’s team orders, Rovanpera secured fourth and only picked up three powerstage points.
