Defending champion Tänak opens WRC title defence in Monte-Carlo

Description

Ott Tänak admits he has no idea what to expect as he begins his FIA World Rally Championship title defence at Rallye Monte-Carlo (23 - 26 January) after a winter transfer flurry sparked by his own shock move.The Estonian’s switch from Toyota Gazoo Racing to Hyundai Motorsport initiated the WRC’s own game of musical chairs, ending with five frontline drivers preparing for the prestigious season-opener at new teams.All eyes are on Tänak to see how quickly he adapts to the Korean manufacturer’s i20 World Rally Car on the barren asphalt mountain roads of the French Alps.
