Rovanpera feels "ready" for WRC comeback in Sweden
The reigning world champion, Kalle Rovanpera, is expected to compete in at least six rallies this year for Toyota. He will start with Rally Sweden next week, a rally he won in 2022 on his way to his first world title. Rovanpera recently participated in the Arctic Lapland Rally in Finland to prepare for Sweden’s snow stages. Although he led the rally by almost a minute, a technical issue on the last stage prevented him from taking the victory, which was claimed by his teammate Elfyn Evans. Rovanpera is confident and ready to challenge for victory in Sweden, where he will have the advantage of starting lower in the road order. He believes the testing in the Arctic Lapland Rally has helped define the setup required for Sweden’s snow-covered roads, and he hopes to have a faster and more comfortable car for the rally.
