Rovanpera tested with Toyota ahead of WRC Rally Monza 2021
Hi, friends!
Finnish youngster Kalle Rovanpera was one of the revelations this season and he drove very matured, even after his bad and unlucky crash at WRC Croatia Rally (he crashed out on the first special stage a few km from the place where we were spectating, so I didn't see him at all during that rally).
At that point he was the championship leader and after that crash he probably lost some confidence because he had a few rallies with some bad results.
But later, during the season. he scored two wins, a maiden one in Estonia and one really great at Acropolis Greece. That way he just showed the whole world that he is very capable of winning on gravel rallies.
He must work on tarmac surface but he is a potential WRC champion in season or two. He is currently 4th on the championship table but he could finish 3rd if Thierry Neuville will hit some problems or if he crash out in Monza.
Neuville is currently 19 points ahead of Rovanpera so young Kalle needs Neuvielle's DNF and a podium finish with some points from the Power Stage.
I think that Kalle is enjoying at the moment and more thinking about the next season then anything else.
There is one thing to add. I didn't see better testing video then this for awhile. Really great stuff.
Enjoy...
