'It is the toughest because of how much you have to concentrate and manage the car to keep it moving over the fesh-fesh sand' ⌛ Kalle Rovanpera calls his latest WRC win the “hardest' of his career to date at SafariRallyKenya ⬇️
A fourth win from six rounds came despite starting first on the notoriously difficult roads that feature sections of deep fesh-fesh sand that require careful navigation.
“Of course it [the win] is quite important because it is a special event. You know, if you manage to win it, it is quite nice and for Toyota it has been an important race. “I don’t know [what happened] but midday yesterday I had a feeling where I had no energy," he added."I heard that quite a few people in the service park had the same and sometimes when you come to a country like this, you can have some issues, but it was good that I felt a bit better today.”, the result marked the first time Toyota scored a 1-2-3-4 in WRC since the 1993 Safari Rally.
“It was 29 years ago the last time [Toyota scored a 1-2-3-4] in Safari so if that happens after every 30 years it is a very rare situation. For sure, I can be really proud of the team and the drivers, the work they have done is really amazing,” said Latvala.
