Rally championships series this year with four Finnish driver.
WRC team drivers in the Finnish colors represent Toyota Jari-Matti Latvala , M-Sport Ford Teemu Suninen and Citroënille shifted to Esapekka Lappi . WRC 2 Pro -class competition involved in Skoda motorsport’s Kalle Rovanperä .
Latvala and map reader Miikka Anttila will begin their thirteenth season together. Last season rank MM-in a series was four.
– we have a lot of motivation to fight for the rally victory, and perhaps the drivers ‘ world championship, not even a dent, it is of course the biggest dream still, Latvala, 33, assessed.
Latvala left off last season quite far away from the medal ranks, but he draws hope for the rest of the season’s successes. The season concluding Australian grand prix, he drove through the only victory.
Last year through the second half for us was really good. If we are able to continue with the same model, we should have a good chance. We know that the car was reliable and fast, so is the drivers task to take it all off.
Rovanperä excited
in October, 18 years old Rovanperä will leave Monte you a second time.
– the Vibe before the race is pretty good. Tests on the second day the conditions were Monte properties. Was ice, dry asphalt and everything possible. Last year is certainly help when you experience you and the circumstances. Stage and the overall, are clean, and not a route I last year changed much, has Rovanperä thinking.
Esapekka Lappi thinks he’s found Citroëniinsä the right adjustments, but reminiscent of Monte carlo’s unpredictability.
I’m pleased testeihimme, because we get to try all the other surfaces except for the completely dry asphalt. We found the team with the car adjustments, which fit me and felt comfortable in the car. Still, the Monte is a staggering challenge. It is a rally, which need to be approached with great respect. Especially therefore, that the rally is not really ever the same as before, because conditions are constantly changing. I hope that I gathered enough experience to be able to fight near the top. The fifth tip of placement would be a good start of the season for me, Lapland contemplating.
Suninen is ready
Monte Carlo is run on a Thursday night two special stages.
I’m really excited about the new season of advent. My expectations are higher than ever. We have come to drive a lot of test miles and I feel prepared. As well as I do that Elfyn we get to drive in the gear on both sides, so overall, the preparation has been better than ever, Suninen rejoices.
the Car feels really good and easier to drive. It is good, when you think about the Monte, which is rally, where the drivers make the biggest difference. The rally started with two yöpätkällä is always a big challenge, and we need to be awake. It would be great to start the rally at a good clip, and the fact that we are targeting.
