Season Info

Ott Tänak broke Sébastien Ogier’s six-year streak and became Estonia’s first World Rally Champion. Rally Australia’s cancellation due to bushfires added drama to an already intense championship finale.
Tänak’s consistency and Toyota’s pace proved decisive, while Hyundai’s cumulative performance earned them their first-ever manufacturers’ title. Citroën struggled and would ultimately withdraw at year’s end.
