    Where's Harri Rovanperä?

    He's fallen off the map. His site has not been updated since last year and I've not heard anything about him recently.

    Is he sipping drinks on a beach with C McRae?

    All this talk of Duvall had me thinking of past drivers who were more fun to watch than DNF-Duvall :-D At least when Harri stuffed it in a ditch, it was exciting.

    About Duval: Crash dummies go, smart drivers come.

    I wonder how many times Duval had thought what would he do differently, if he got back in time and had just started with Citroen ?

    Well, you live, you learn.

    Back to the topic. Harri knows his market value and he is available. The problem is that others don't know his market value

    He might get back in WRC in the similar role than Juha Kankkunen did with Hyundai.

    Few months ago not saying he was considering it but Suzuki was in the air with him. But the same with Toni Garde.

    Rovanpera said that he won't go chasing a drive, but if someone offers a drive, he will take it. It seems that there are too many driver out there today.

    From what I've heard, he's running his own jet ski store in Finland.

    Harri is currently involved in the business he partly owns (selling boats, jet-skis, snowmobiles etc) in Jyväskylä. He has said he would return to WRC if the offer os goos enough and the car as well.
