The World Rally Championship title contender was involved in a scary incident on Friday morning
Ott Tanak has crashed out of Rally Finland in an incident that briefly red flagged stage three of the World Rally Championship gravel rally on Friday morning. The Hyundai driver went off the road just over two kilometres into the brand new Sarrikas test which was held in wet conditions. Tanak and co-driver Mattin Jarveoja were sitting in sixth overall after the morning’s first test. Television pictures did show the i20 N had come to rest on its side.
” A further statement from Hyundai read: “Ott is ok, however Martin will be taken to hospital for further checks. We will provide more updates when possible.” Thierry Neuville, Martijn Wydaeghe, Hyundai World Rally Team Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Photo by: Vincent Thuillier / Hyundai Motorsport Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville was the only car to pass through the stage before it was halted.
