TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[ouvreur]

As the topic is Toyota here, then - with statements and attitude - if Toyota will not win Finland, it's their huge failure and if someone else will win, it's their huge success. So it is a bit self-generated pressure and they need to deliver. At the moment seems highly likely that they (well, Rovanperä) will.

Yeah, that's the feeling I had reading the Dirtfish article. It could backfire spectacularly. Last year they ended up with humble pie for dinner on Sunday, after all their pre-event hype / team photos / PR activity... same in Japan too. Kalle seems to thrive under pressure, and has proven himself to be able to deliver, but last year he was trying pretty hard and still couldn't manage. I hope at least we'll have a close fight...

But this year Ott’s in the Puma and if the ugly rear head of the reliability shows up again it will be Rovanperä’s win.

Rally Finland is a bit problematic for Kalle, he has solid lead in the standings but can't afford to take too many stupid risks.

it was also the case last year

It's nice to see Toyota is planning on building another car: Rally3.
