Although the opening of the 2024 World Rally Championship season is already knocking on the door, Estonian rally star Ott Tänak also has time for his family. He shared a picture of his 6-year-old son on social media About Ron, who is clearly following in his father’s footsteps. Despite his young age, the Ron boy sits behind the wheel of a fast-looking cross-kart.
– A winter wonderland, Tänak writes in the caption.
