Hyundai had already been working on a “Plan B” for its 2026 World Rally Championship driver line-up should it lose Ott Tanak from its team.
Tanak today announced plans to take a break from full-time rallying and leave the Korean brand following the Saudi Arabia season finale later this month. The 38-year-old stated that he wishes to spend more time with his family, but revealed that this “isn’t a complete goodbye” and won’t be cutting ties with rallying completely.
