Estonian driver Ott Tänak secured his first win of the 2025 World Rally Championship (WRC) season at the Acropolis Rally in Greece, driving for Hyundai. Tänak took the lead early in the event and maintained a slender advantage over his Hyundai teammate Adrien Fourmaux and French driver Sébastien Ogier, despite a gearbox scare in the final stage. The rally was marked by extreme heat and challenging terrain, which tested all competitors. Tänak's victory ended Toyota's winning streak in the WRC and marked Hyundai's first win of the 2025 season. Tänak's performance was highlighted by his ability to withstand the punishing conditions and fend off strong competition, particularly from Ogier. The win also impacts the ongoing championship battle, with Elfyn Evans remaining the championship leader. The Acropolis Rally's demanding conditions and Tänak's consistent pace were decisive factors in the outcome.
