Autosport Top 50 of 2025: #27 Ott Tanak
4th in World Rally Championship
Top 50 Drivers of 2025
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2025. Here are the results.
The fact that Ott Tanak was able to take the fight to Sebastien Ogier and Toyota in a Hyundai lacking the speed and reliability of its rivals was hugely impressive. He claimed 56 stage wins, only four shy of Ogier’s season-best tally.
Tanak even led the title race after Rally Estonia, and in Greece managed to beat Ogier in a head-to-head to claim Hyundai’s only victory before Thierry Neuville won a brutal Saudi finale. More successes over Ogier could have arrived in Portugal and Sardinia had his car been less fragile. Tanak’s incredible speed will be missed next year as he takes a sabbatical.
