.KalleRovanpera wrapped up the 2022 WRC championship last weekend in New Zealand. As TommyHoward writes, his charge to victory very much encapsulated the Finn's record-breaking season. Feature:
There couldn’t have been a more fitting way for Kalle Rovanpera to rewrite history as the World Rally Championship’s youngest ever champion at Rally New Zealand. After uncharacteristic errors in the preceding rounds in Belgium and Greece, rallying’s new flying Finn reproduced a ‘Greatest Hits’ of his stunning 2022 campaign to claim the world title on his 22nd birthday weekend, in the land of the long white cloud.
It’s a feat unlikely to be beaten as Rovanpera eclipsed the late 1995 world champion Colin McRae’s benchmark as the WRC’s youngest champion by five years. Not only did Rovanpera write himself into the history books, his success ended a 20-year wait for a Finnish world champion.
