    Kalle only 16th on SS11, then fastest on SS12. Must just be testing.

    It’s just pure testing. His times were the same way all over the place in December at that rally where he was competing with Fourmaux

    Kalle explains about his Arctic Rally times being due to the WRC-spec Hankooks shorter studs...

    I am curious to see where Bertelli ends up this year.

    Last year, he beat 4 of the 8 drivers entered for manufacturer points in WRC1. He went faster than Munster, and Rovanpera / Tanak /Katsuta lost to him by going off. So he finished right in the middle of the WRC1 order.

    If he stays on the road again this year, I wonder if he can come above halfway.

    Well.. Munster was way faster than him on most stages(where he didn't have problems). Bertelli was 6th in wrc2 class..
    Top15 overall maybe..

    Maybe we can all agree, that those black liveries on Toyotas are way better than Bertelli liveries across his cars. Only his racesuit does seem decent, but the car... Well, it looks like it's wrapped in base colours and even that is made poorly. Maybe he will surprise and have this year even uglier.
