"Relaxed" Rovanpera to enjoy Rally Sweden victory tilt without WRC title pressure
The reigning two-time world champion, Kalle Rovanpera, is expected to be the overwhelming favorite for victory on Sweden’s snow-covered roads due to his previous successes. With a favorable starting position and a more relaxed mindset, Rovanpera aims to push for wins in his first of six likely WRC rounds this year. Team principal Jari-Matti Latvala has tasked Rovanpera with going all out to secure a win, especially since Toyota’s best hope, Elfyn Evans, may face challenges due to road position. Toyota has intensively prepared for the rally in Sweden to improve upon last year’s performance, with a focus on addressing car behavior and adapting to the tricky conditions. With no team orders in place, Rovanpera is geared up to give his best shot at claiming victory in what is considered a key event for the Toyota team.
