WRC champion Rovanpera announces circuit racing plans
Two-time WRC title winner Kalle Rovanpera has expressed a desire to explore other motorsport disciplines, leading to the announcement of his participation in a partial World Rally Championship campaign alongside co-driver Jonne Halttunen. However, Rovanpera has now confirmed that he will also compete in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux, driving a 911 GT3 Cup car for four out of six rounds. Red Ant Racing, managed by former Formula Ford Festival winner Marc Goosens, will provide the servicing for the car. Rovanpera expressed his excitement for this new racing project and thanked Unibet, Red Ant Racing, and Toyota Gazoo Racing for the opportunity. It is anticipated that Rovanpera will also participate in the WRC round in Latvia in July. This move follows in the footsteps of his Toyota teammate Sebastien Ogier, who has combined a partial WRC program with circuit racing outings in the World Endurance Championship.
