Ott Tanak - The Man, The Myth, The Rallying Legend

Ott Tanak, the rally driver from Estonia, is known for his lightning-fast speed and heart-stopping maneuvers on the race track. But he’s also known for something else entirely: his charming sense of humor and love for practical jokes.

Born on October 15th, 1987 in Kärla, Estonia, Ott grew up watching rally races with his dad. He was hooked from the very first race he watched, and from then on, he knew he wanted to be a rally driver. He started racing at the age of 10, and by the time he was in his early 20s, he had already made a name for himself in the rallying world.

But it wasn’t just his racing skills that made Ott stand out from the crowd. It was his infectious personality and sharp wit that made him a fan favorite. He was always quick with a joke, and he loved to make his teammates and fans laugh.

In 2017, Ott joined the Toyota Gazoo Racing team, and it was there that his antics really took off. He became known for his hilarious pranks on his teammates, including hiding a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself in the team’s trailer and wiring up his teammate’s car horn to honk every time he hit the brakes.

But Ott’s humor isn’t limited to practical jokes. He’s also known for his witty one-liners that always leave people in stitches. When asked how he prepares for races, Ott once quipped, “I eat a lot of porridge in the morning. It makes me go faster.” And when asked about his driving style, he responded, “I like to think of myself as a cross between a cheetah and a bulldozer.”

Despite his love for laughter and practical jokes, Ott is as serious as they come when it comes to racing. He’s won multiple races and has been crowned the World Rally Champion in 2019. But he never forgets to enjoy the ride and bring a smile to everyone’s faces, both on and off the track.

In conclusion, Ott Tanak is not just a man, he’s a legend. A legend of speed, talent, and humor. We can’t wait to see what he’ll do next, both on the track and in the joke department.
