Toyota’s Kalle Rovanperä is only in his first season of driving World Rally Cars on the global stage but, aged 19, is the most exciting young prospect that the World Rally Championship has seen in some time.
The Finn has a podium and two fifth-place finishes from the total three rallies his top-line WRC career extends to, and is currently fourth in the points behind only the three rally winners we’ve had this year.
Before the season does get going again – possibly on more familiar stages for the second generation superstar – Rovanperä speaks to DirtFish about his rally career to date, Toyota’s team dynamic, and teenage boredom during the coronavirus lockdown.
