Tänak joins Neuville and Loeb at Hyundai in 2020
No one was expecting the news just hours away from dressing up for Halloween; However, it is not a crazy outfit but a new all-blue jumpsuit that will be worn Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja for the 2020 and 2021 seasons of WRC.
The Estonian duo, victorious behind the wheel of the Toyota Yaris in 2019, quitte la formation japonaise pour rejoindre Hyundai Motorsport pour défendre la couronne.
The second i20 will be occupied by the Belgians Thierry Neuville and Nicolas Gilsoul. Finally, the third South Korean car will be shared according to the campaign between Sébastien Loeb-Daniel Elena and Dani Sordo-Carlos del Barrio.
It's a huge fish that Andrea Adamo, the boss of Hyundai Motorsport, has just caught in his nets. “It is a demonstration of the brand’s commitment and ambitions in the WRC, He explains. We are involved in a very tight battle for the Constructors' title this year, and bringing back Ott and Martin in 2020 will allow us to continue to be at the forefront.
I'm really excited to announce that I will join with @HMSGOfficial from 2020 season.
We've been fighting closely against each other for a number of seasons. They have always had a competitive team and car, so now it will be interesting to see things from the other side. pic.twitter.com/XvoFi2Yk5s

" We keep in touch to see how we could work together in the WRC next season. »
Pour Ott Tänak, c’est le troisième changement d’équipe en WRC après M-Sport jusqu’en 2017 et Toyota and between 2018 2019. “Andrea’s vision is very promising and aligns with my personal ambitions. It is a great honor to have this opportunity.
