Greece has spoken—and Hyundai finally broke the code. Ott Tänak claimed a sensational victory at the 2025 EKO Acropolis Rally, proving that focus, grit, and speed are the ultimate trio when battling both terrain and titans. The Estonian handled the punishing stages and brutal heat with surgical precision, fending off Sébastien Ogier who stayed glued to his bumper throughout.
Adding to Hyundai’s dominance, Adrien Fourmaux secured a strong P3 finish, sandwiching Ogier between two Hyundai machines. Could this be a turning point for Hyundai’s 2025 campaign? They’ve hacked the rhythm—now the big question is: Can they sustain it?
Meanwhile, Thierry Neuville, the reigning 2024 WRC Champion, continues to struggle under pressure. Many are beginning to question whether his title win was circumstantial, given Kalle Rovanperä’s absence last season. Ironically, Kalle himself is struggling to find form this year, making the championship chase even more unpredictable.
Elfyn Evans may still lead the championship, but with Tänak’s triumph and a few more strong rallies, the tables could turn dramatically.
