That is a fair point. Him vs Tanak in that rally would have been insane. I still feel we haven't seen both of them go toe to toe. Finland 2022 you can say but Kalle was more focused on finishing and getting points for the championship at that point. Croatia (As always) 2022 power stage was also exciting regarding that.

My point is that Kalle is still getting better and still very young (which is scary when we think about it and the other top level drivers will eventually start to decline in a year or two) and I feel like we haven't seen him in the most complete form in Tarmac. The interesting question I have is, will his (successful) time in circuit be beneficial for tarmac rallies in the future ?
