2026 WRC News & Rumours

[sindroms]

The WRC site says he'll also do selected ERC and National rallies. Maybe he should do tarmac ones to get experience instead of proving what we already know, that he's fast on gravel.

Sesks about tarmac rallies.

- We have plans for Southern Europe including tarmac rallies so I think another rally might appear on our calendar.

Go4speed.lv: Perhaps you can tell us why there are no asphalt rallies either last year or this year, at least on the WRC calendar?
- In those years, with the opportunities we had, we walked like on the edge so we had to show high-value results where we can - to secure our future drive. Driving on tarmac rallies and not showing high-value results, we wouldn't be interesting to anyone, so at first it was important to prove ourselves where we really feel good. But we need to practice on other surfaces so we hope this year we will have that opportunity to try other surfaces as well. Yes, maybe not immediately at WRC rallies and not with top-tier technique but with Rally2 car you can learn it perfectly.

Go4speed.lv: Some years ago Kalle did quiet a lot Italian tarmac races to gain experience.
- Yes, and we have that plan too.
