Hyundai's Ott Tanak has been handed a penalty for using the internal combustion engine in an electric-only zone in RallyEstonia. WRC

The Hyundai driver was found to have breached the new-for-2022 World Rally Championship sporting regulations on his way to Friday’s first time control.

Tanak was found to be using his internal combustion engine on his i20 N during a HEV zone on the way to the day’s first stage, which has resulted in a 10s penalty. Hyundai team manager Pablo Marcos was summoned to a hearing this morning where a stewards report revealed that Tanak’s co-driver Jarveoja did not inform the team manager and the car was only switched into electric mode once they had reached the TCA1 time control.
