Ogier: “No reason to change anything” for 2024 amid Hyundai WRC rumours
Eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier has moved away from full-time competition after winning the 2021 title with Toyota. He has since participated in partial campaigns for the Japanese marque and has emphasized his enjoyment of the flexibility and ability to spend more time with his family. While he has won three out of six rallies entered this season, there were speculations linking Ogier to a possible move to Toyota’s rival, Hyundai. However, Ogier dismissed these rumors and stated his satisfaction with his current position at Toyota. Hyundai has only one confirmed seat for next year with Thierry Neuville, and suggestions of Ogier’s move may have gained traction due to the signing of new technical director François Xavier Demaison, with whom Ogier had success at Volkswagen. Ogier mentioned that he and his team are discussing the possibility of continuing in a similar manner for next year. Toyota management has expressed no intention of altering their driver lineup for 2024, and although contracts for next season have not been secured for Kalle Rovanperä and Elfyn Evans, discussions have reportedly begun.
