It's a headline that Estonian, Ott Tanak, will want to be reading in September after Rally Estonia's WRC event.
He'll have to wait, however, but it was the reigning World Champion who did win the Estonian Viru Rally in his Hyundai.
Winning the event was never going to be a challenge, but he spent some quality time behind the wheel in preparation for the WRC's restart.
“It was a great feeling to be out competing again,” he said.
“It’s nice to win a rally with Hyundai. I have to say a big thanks to the team for bringing the car to this event. It was quite a small event and it’s not always easy to make this sort of thing happen for a big team, so thank you to all the guys for that.
“It was really important for me to get back out there and start driving again,” he added. “I have been doing some testing a little bit recently, so I have done some driving – but it was good to get the feeling of the butterflies in your stomach while driving out to the first stage again. It’s been a long time!”
