Doing a part season doesn't mean he's retiring......Why would anybody think that? Maybe he has more fun/enjoyment and less pressure doing Drift Masters, etc However, I don't expect that just yet, but who knows.
I've always been an advocate for drivers to try more than just one discipline.....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

In terms of the drivers championship Toyota could be in trouble then.
Or is this another attempt to raise his salary?

I think it's way too early to talk about Kalle not doing a full season... I can believe he not caring to chase 10 titles and wanting to try other motorsport disciplines, but I really doubt that moment is now.

I'll be surprised if something comes of this to be honest, I feel it's more of a way to get clicks. Altough it is strange that so many people are mentioning that "oh Kalle said he won't do it forever" etc.

I know other drivers have gone on and won many Championships (Loeb, Ogier), but they were quite a bit older to start with.
Rovanpera - a double world champion by the age of 23 - may think what does he really have to prove.

If you put yourself in Kalle’s shoes, why not try something else. He still has age on his side to embark on a real challenge, like F1.

I'd start watching that RedBull Drifting European Master CHampionship Whatever the name is if Kalle switch to that. Like, In a heartbeat. Im all for that tbh. I would love seeing that. A CHAMP just moving away because he WANTS to try a new thing and be a champion there too.
F1 kinda sucks... he would never switch to that. Theres no sideways - Wheres the fun? haha
"Oh but you gotta set your suspensions like precislyyyy then you can be 0.0000000000000001milseconds faster so you can finish the race behind Max Verstappen" haha wtf

Maybe the rumours started here by me are true (slight boast...). Sometimes you don't want your rumours to be true.
This is one of those instances.

Latvala told Autosport: “Yeah we are working to continue with Kalle and everything is looking really good with Kalle for next season, but around Rally Japan time everything will be clearer.”
Thanks! Big loss for me, from 4th to 19th overall Sent fra min SM-S901B via Tapatalk
