At the Portugal Rally, Ott Tanak was acknowledged by Sebastien Ogier for his superior pace, a rare occurrence for the eight-time world champion. This marked Ogier’s 63rd WRC career win, a victory at the same event that started his remarkable winning streak 15 years ago. Despite being a master of winning races over the years, Ogier emphasized the importance of race management over sheer speed in rallying. Ultimately, Ogier managed to secure a hard-fought win over Tanak in one of the most challenging rallies of his career. While Toyota maintained its dominance in Portugal, Hyundai’s performance fell short, showcasing the need for improvement in future events and highlighting the demanding nature of the competition.
