Was this the most dramatic finish to a rally season ever? 🤔

[@urbanfilh]

It was the scariest and most nerve-wracking finish to a rally season for fans of Hyundai, Thierry, Ott, Andreas, and Toyota. It was like in a Hollywood movie, but it was real. Ps When can we expect to receive information on the crews for the upcoming season?

[@urbanfilh]

I know the answer is soon....but, how soon is soon?

[@marfrandema1884]

We are closed but we had very good ones in WRC. 2020 was amazing, 1998, 2001, 2003 many.. With this one is special that Thierry clinched it finally!!

[@HMSGOfficial]

@@urbanfilh Next season news will drop soon! And yes, what a season!

[@HMSGOfficial]

@@urbanfilh How soon is now? 😜

[@gator9726]

Welcome to the champions club, Thierry. 🏆

[@HMSGOfficial]

Yessss! Get in, finally 🙌

[@tomblord12]

Congrats to Thierry! well deserved after year and years of being so close.. And whole team did wonderfull job, it came down to the wire and was a shootout finish worthy of WRC even in Constructors.

[@HMSGOfficial]

It was such an epic finish to the season! Thank for your support 🙌

[@christopherc7075]

0:31 I'm happy that the Breenies are still being used! Which reminds me, he would have been so proud...🥺

Thank you 😊

[@けんち-h8p]

ドライバーズタイトルおめでとうございます！ 来年はダブルタイトル目指して頑張って下さい♪

[@HMSGOfficial]

本当にありがとうございました！来年もさらに頑張ります！

[@ZeugmaP]

This was the most nerve-wracking season, until the final stage ! But I can finally relax now that Thierry and Martijn are champions. Maybe the next season will be even better, who knows !

[@HMSGOfficial]

What a season, and we were the same, so nervous until the end! But we did it!!!!!!! Bring on 2025 💪

[@bigtoepapa]

This was a true contest of speed and patience for the team

[@HMSGOfficial]

It was such a nail-biting showdown 🫣

[@happyraintf]

Well deserved, Thierry. Glad to have followed you for years!

[@HMSGOfficial]

You are so right! Was there ever a more deserved title? 🤔

[@happyraintf]

​@@HMSGOfficial Not in my eyes ❤

[@HMSGOfficial]

We agree 👍

[@Phenomenal]

Thank you for the video!

[@HMSGOfficial]

Our pleasure!

[@ilias.liask2002]

Poor Tanak 😢😢. Congratulations for Thierry for first rally championship and what battle.After 5 time second for the championship 👏👏 .One month break and next is back January Monte Carlo 🙌

[@HMSGOfficial]

Bring on Monte Carlo! It was an epic battle between Ott & Thierry, thanks for your support 💪

[@krissscott2432]

Congratulations to Thierry, Martijn and the whole team!

[@HMSGOfficial]

Thank you so much!

[@benyaminabiyoga6907]

Massive congrats once again for this year's result. Hoping for a better season next year! It will be tough though with strong line up from Toyota. 😊😊

[@HMSGOfficial]

How much could it be better? ;-)

[@muhammadfauzanraditya3835]

Been following hyundai in wrc since their comeback in 2014. i do believe one times one of their drivers could be the champions after a tight battles in 2019 with Tanak, Finally this year is Thierry's year, Congrats to Thierry, Martijn and the whole hyundai team.

[@HMSGOfficial]

Thank you 😊

[@jaimemartinho5684]

Congratulations from Portugal.

[@HMSGOfficial]

Obrigado 🙌

[@calebacquah292]

Wow, congratulations to Thierry Neuville🎉🎉🎉. Champion at last!!!!!! This has been one of the craziest seasons and Neuville stayed so consistent all throughout!!!!

[@HMSGOfficial]

Cheers, it was a crazy season! What was your highlight? 🤔

[@calebacquah292]

@HMSGOfficial It's gotta be the Greece Rally. What an amazing response by Neuville to the doubters👏🏿 . But the final day of Rally Japan was absolutely insane. Here's to hoping that one day, we'll get a Rally stateside. 🤞🏿

[@HMSGOfficial]

Greece was so crucial, but yeah, that final day was something else 🙌

[@metalcastengines9917]

Breathtaking for real!

[@HMSGOfficial]

It was so dramatic 🫣

[@RpM_Zephyr]

Congratulations for first ever driver's title!! It would've been much better if we also got manufacturer's. I really hoped overall victory in this season. Still it is such a huge achievement and a long long awaited moment for Thierry. Hope you guys return stronger next year!!

[@HMSGOfficial]

Thank you! We will be back even stronger next year don't worry 💪

[@RpM_Zephyr]

@@HMSGOfficial Let's bring back manufacturer's at 2025!!

[@HMSGOfficial]

Hell yeah!

[@phonetics8272]

Congrats Thierry and Martijn!!!🇧🇪

[@HMSGOfficial]

Thank you! What a season! What was your favourite moment? 🤔

[@esametsala3054]

Well done, CHAMP

[@HMSGOfficial]

Yessssssss!!!!!!

[@blakegriplingph]

When the moment came where Thierry became the presumptive world champion, I quickly whipped up a video of him singing "We Are the Champions" in Guitar Hero lel

[@HMSGOfficial]

We like your style! 😂

[@blakegriplingph]

@@HMSGOfficial It's on my channel, I actually tagged you guys in it. 😉

[@HMSGOfficial]

We just watched, Thierry vs Little Yachty is what we needed in our lives 😜

[@blakegriplingph]

@@HMSGOfficial LMFAO xD

[@feddx3514]

Cool Vid 🔥

Glad you like it 😎

축하합니다 누빌~ 당신 아들도 세계 챔피언이 될 것 같아요😊

[@HMSGOfficial]

감사합니다. 그렇기를 바랍니다!

[@chowweihsien358]

With the finally off Neuville's, hopefully he will get stronger and show his true potential. I believe this year he strategy through out the year make him a little bit restraint and holding him back

[@HMSGOfficial]

Yeah, it was tricky having to open at almost every rally, kind of restricted the strategy what strategies he could use. We agree that he will only get stronger from here, bring on 2025 💪

[@tauriusmagnamus3281]

Thierry and Tanak fans nearly had a heart attack watching the Japan rally. Talk about movie level of drama XD

[@HMSGOfficial]

It was so nerve-wracking, we had no nails left! 🫣

[@florian_montuzet]

I was so sad when Ott and Martin went off. They were pushing hard for the team. Still very happy for Thierry and Martijn. Another amazing liaison. Can't wait for next year. What was the problem on Thierry's car ? The catalyst ?

[@HMSGOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it, the issue was trubo related we think. Bring on 2025!

[@pierio33]

13:16 very very very incredible

[@HMSGOfficial]

Amazing!!!

[@banzai385]

Well done Thierry , bad luck Hyundai, with Thierrys turbo and Tanak and Mikkelsens off , see you next year 👌

[@HMSGOfficial]

It was slighly nerve wracking to say the least! But we did it 🏆

[@musaire]

please Hyundai guys don't blame Ott too much - he did put on a good show and did show the speed of Hyundai - so Hyundai got plenty of positive limelight :)!! Points are just for game - it's just a game - points would be just another embodiment of the chance to a more limelight. There was speed and power, there was show - Hyundai can be happy about it! Everyone saw it! Please someone also forward this to Ott! Otherwise I'm worried for him. He put on amazing show - that's the way, on the edge!

[@HMSGOfficial]

He was incredible, and will be back even stronger next year 💪

[@musaire]

@@HMSGOfficial 👏👏 well said, coz that's correct

[@Zulkarnaini72]

Selamat tuknya tim hyunday juara 1 di th 2024..kerjasama yg ok..❤

[@marfrandema1884]

Such a pity for the manufacturers championship which should have been won with team orders after saturday.

[@HMSGOfficial]

Both drivers were fighting for the championship, these things happen 🙌

[@paulvo815]

Thierry Neuville's wish to become the wrc driver championship finally came true immediately, so congratulations to Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe on winning the 2024 World Rally Championship.

[@tauriusmagnamus3281]

Hyundai, try t make a "movie" documentary about the race between Thierry and Ott. "Battle for the world's greatest 2024".

[@HMSGOfficial]

Funny you should say that...😜

[@19ZORES72]

So sad what happens at the end of 2025😢

[@ralfmagi99]

As Estonian we know Ott will be really harsh on himself for that..............

True, but he will come back stronger 💪
