As this
year’s championship comes to an end with four events remaining until the season
finale, Ott Tanak has a big disadvantage on the drivers’ championship heading
to Acropolis Rally which will host the tenth WRC round.
More
specifically, Ott Tanak has 104 points on the championship at the end of Rally
Finland and is behind the leader Kalle Rovanpera for 66 points as the last one
has 170 points. It is crucial for the Estonian to recover 24 points compared to
Rovanpera in Greece next weekend if he wants to remain at the fight for this
year’s driver title, but how can this happen? Below we examine what Tanak must
do at Acropolis Rally in combination with Rovanpera’s results next week.
