What's life like for Ott Tänak in the WRC carousel? There is a whole team behind every top rally driver. Ott also has some fellow Estonians accompanying him, like a personal physical preparation trainer, a weatherman, and the gravel crew. What do they all do? What do the rally drivers wear? How hot will it get in an un-air-conditioned rally car, and what tricks are used to relieve the heat? How do the wives of Ott Tänak and co-driver Martin Järveoja feel about their husbands' profession? Tänak receives invitations to glamorous social events as a top racer, but why would he rather stay at home?
Ott Tänak – The Movie: The Series:
In 2018, the film crew followed the Estonian rally driver Ott Tänak throughout the entire season of the world rally championship. The documentary ‘Ott Tänak – The Movie’ premiered in 2019, and it became a blockbuster! Yet there still was a lot of exclusive footage filmed in 13 countries. The external hard drives hold over 150 hours of exclusive footage! So, the filmmakers put together a 5-part TV series. It would have been pity to just let it stand. The series explores the life of a top rally driver. It is aimed for all rally fans and for everyone interested in traveling, human relationships, and who would like to discover a new exciting world one usually can't be privy to.
